It's good to have evidence. But I find it hard to believe many people are surprised by this anymore. All the biggest sites behave this way, like propaganda outlets reinforcing MSM values, rather than actually being the voice of the people.

It's quite simple, billion dollar companies pay google to plaster YouTube with their content. Has nothing to do with propaganda and everything to do with money.
