Regarding recommendations. I recently disabled history and recommendations and the subscribed tab has everything I’d expect. No more surprises and no more political garbage.

That’s crazy, when I am logged out I only get political garbage and the most insane braunrot you can imagine. My recommendations are really good on YouTube, I find a lot of interesting stuff

You must fight the urge to click on controversial topics. If you mentally subscribe to any fringe idea, the algo immediately feeds you echo chamber / bubble content. It's crazy.

I usually open videos of any topic I don't want in my recommendations in a private window.

Ye if you watch some woodworking bench videos YT spams them at you.

I guess that is what PCA gives you. Lunatic videos is some distinct component too.
