      It’s not the worst idea to see if someone you’re interested in generally aligns with your interests and hobbies and isn’t one of those “hidden” right wing nut cases

        YouTube’s algorithm is garbage though, so that information is worthless. Pretty sure it pushes right wing stuff on anyone remotely interested in politics regardless of affiliation. As for me, my watch history is off, so that isn’t possible in the first place.

          Oh God, for a while YouTube kept trying to give me right wing videos. You watch one tool review from someone you never heard of before, and all of a sudden, you start getting trad wife videos. Had to install a 3rd party channel blocker to deal with it.

      It was an actual possibility though. They genuinely did think about actually doing that for that mission and then for some reason didn’t. So there is alternate timeline out there where that’s entirely plausible. It’s not a random question.
