Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.

How can I filter that?

Edit: I don't really have a full answer, but I hope that we can get the problem fixed with community-based video hosting, like the one linked above.

I don't understand why people don't turn off youtube watch history. I nuked my account about a year ago and have since made a new account with a burner email adress. Turned off all tracking and history for YouTube and all affiliate Google accounts and all the recommended videos are completely random shit. They're basically sidebar ads to me now, I dont even notice they're there. I want to watch a video - search it, watch it, thats it never see any other shit about.

Stop clicking, interacting, hovering or looking at the thumbnail for too long. Clear your watch history. Search up lots of unrelated content that you enjoy, thumbs it up, subscribe to unrelated channels you like. It will stop doing that. Mine basically only shows video essays an, science, technology and gaming content
