Seems to me that if I watch 50 + videos on 5G and/or Covid 19 there would be some related videos in my selections but not one. They are working with the rest of the elite to manage the info IMHO.

Anyone else seeing anything odd like this

It seems like it's been this way since late 2017. This was the time when all of the truther and transpocalypse videos and channels that I used to see got scrubbed. The era for truthtelling on YouTube peaked in 2015 and after that was on a steep decline.

There are still truther channels that still exist out there though. Jeff C is J-woke and still out there but has self censored to keep his channel. Pockets of the Future is still able to have a channel. Ritchie From Boston is still out there and so is Russian Vids.

But you have to search them and sub to them to have their content show up in your feed. Most likely their content will show up, but you won't get recommended anything similar. That's were the algorithm kicks in. Also, YouTube's algorithm artificially keeps channels like these from achieving any kind of growth.

Any other content creators who were remotely J-woke has long since had their channels banned.
