I like to watch videos of media critiques. Somehow all the ones that I keep getting recommended are anti woke d bags that blame every bad movie choice on the company/producer/director/etc going woke. I've pretty much had to stop watching those types of videos and try to rebalance the algorithm by watching literally anything that seems remotely left leaning. It's been 2 months and it's barely better.

Yeah a lot of channels used to be actual discussion now it's all culture war bs.

Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.

There's one channel I love watching for the behind the scenes news on movie studios, but then it goes anti-woke so hard sometimes that I literally just have to stop the video mid-viewing.

The anti-woke crowd think the woke crowd are so annoying, but they never themselves stop to think about how the anti-woke croud can be so annoying as well.

I have resorted to extreme methods of recommendation algorithm avoidance such as, but not limited to:

Multiple accounts.

Proxies and anonymous services like startpage.com anonymous view.

Non YouTube clients like piped or envidious.

Using multiple browsers instead of a single google spyware app.

Yeah I'm just watching less because I don't want to spend the time doing that. It's irritating either way but at least this way I can justify since I'm not putting in and time.
