Definite green flag for the video. Red flag for the girl, because who the fuck asks about that?

It's not the worst idea to see if someone you're interested in generally aligns with your interests and hobbies and isn't one of those "hidden" right wing nut cases

YouTube's algorithm is garbage though, so that information is worthless. Pretty sure it pushes right wing stuff on anyone remotely interested in politics regardless of affiliation. As for me, my watch history is off, so that isn't possible in the first place.

I think they flagged me as a gun ~~nut~~ enthusiast because my feed is literally nothing but gun videos. I am American but live in Europe; one of the reasons I moved here is because of the lack of guns!

Maybe YouTube thinks you're homesick?

Probably misses their old guns
