I literally only get Marvel Snap/general gaming, College Humor, tech, educational, stand up comedy, and drones. That's it. I don't mean to victim blame, but it learns what you click and what you stay to watch.
Mine acted similar to yours. I recently started watching a few more short videos and now it's showing me an unfortunate amount of that far right nonsense.
I am pretty sure it is just showing politically charged content based on people watching other politically charged content. I feel the blame is misdirected at something that only provides content people will like based on their past.
Depends entirely on what you're subscribed to, if you have multiple linked youtube accounts (such as the premium family plan) it depends on what THEY'RE subscribed to, and depends on location (my recommendations at home and my recommendations at work are wildly different)
