Do not underestimate the power of algorithms. I feel like instagram or YouTube are constantly trying to pull me back into the far right rabbit hole.

You watch some videos on YouTube and the suggestions are terrifying. Anything vaguely political and I'm swamped with conspiracy theories and other alt right nonsense.

This is a very good point. I am a member of a far left political party, but I make it a point to listen to what ppl who disagree with me are saying. Watching one video like that on YT completely changes your suggestions feed.
