YouTube’s loaded with disinformation about everything. Especially egregious are the awful ads YouTube runs about scammy health cures and devices.
YouTube is filled with whatever people fill it with. Some of it is misinformation, some of it is (obviously) super valuable and helpful information. It is not YTs job or responsibility to be the arbiter of truth.
I would have agreed upon that only if youtube didn't shove videos like these down everyone's throat if you create a new account, you would get videos like these pretty easily
That's because videos like these are exploiting the algorithm. That's why there are so many.
