Youtube is a bad joke these days, and in particular the search algorithm is hilariously biased towards corporate/state propaganda, and if you're not searching, towards brain-dead Tik-Tok like content. China, amusingly enough, bans such content in its own country but is happy to promote it abroad. I see this as proof of my general conjecture that dumbing down the American population is something the global elites continue to pursue as a means of retaining their grasp on power.

As far as myself, I was shadow banned on Youtube well over a year ago, most likely for making cynical comments about the ratio of ads to content on several popular channels, and perhaps for making a habit of reporting to content creators when their content had been age-restricted for no apparent reason, and as a result I will never buy or purchase anything I see recommended to me in a Youtube ad, which I mostly avoid via ublock origin and youtube_dl, and I have nothing but contempt for the Alphabet/Google brand and all who ride with it.

We can do better than this, Europe's data privacy laws should be ported to the USA and all the creepy data merchants should be forced out of business post haste.

P.S. stop calling them FAANG, they're nothing but MAMAA... as in the undue influence of Big MAMAA in the tech sector, which also ties into their ancestor, Ma Bell.
