    On top of what everyone else said, Evergrande is big news right now. That alone could get it pushed up by the algorithm, esp if the creator is paying for better slots. I’ve seen plenty of instances where youtube shows me stuff in the news mixed in with my actual desired content.

    YouTube will use data about your user of YouTube to try and personalize your recommendations/searches. Considering this is all within the website I don’t see how this is really that much of an issue. Granted this is Google so we know that data is being used elsewhere.
