Well, you use YouTube a lot. Anyway, YouTube's algorithm may have a large task with me since I'm interested in a variety things and opinions. I sometimes get a chuckle when after watching a couple of videos, the next time in I get a bunch of like minded to be listed. So I'll pick a contrary topic to get a bunch of that ilk to be algorithmed my way next time. Then switch back. Heh, heh . . . just for fun . . . and for a different perspective.

Anyway I get the other "side" in droves from you and the other anti Trumpers, et al.

But, more to the point, I don't search for topics just by browsing YouTube. I more often use search engines like Google or Bing (which also have algorithms, Google being oriented more toward the politically Progressive).
