It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

    It’s not an accident.

    It’s probably not a conspiracy.

    If seeing that so much as pauses your scrolling, the algo counts that as “engagement,” and that gets modeled into your profile for all of time. That’s all it cares about, not incel stuff specifically… though rage bait happens to work very well, which is how these jerks make a living.

    You might fix it with a new account from a different IP.
