Normally I would say that the ways of the algorithm are mysterious. But I have been getting non-Bitcoin libertarian content flushed onto my main page on YouTube and Twitter out of nowhere as well. That is not at all the content I am consuming normally - indeed far from it.
Normally I am not that quick to jump to conclusions or Conspiracies but this time it really feels coordinated and sudden. My guess is that this is a political campaign and some service provider has some kind of strategy on how to game the algorithm(s). I see no other explanation.
But maybe it's just a coincidence that it happened to both of us and it's just some viral content that is dragging side-content through the whole internet with it?
It reminds me of YAF and Daily Wire popularity surge during the Trump/Hillary election. I know there is an audience for that content but people also def mobilized a lot of money on youth/campus political messaging.
