So, why is Youtube pushing 15% Nancy Guthrie content at me?

AFAIK, nothing has happened, but these video's offer 30 minutes of a lot of nonsense.

Why is this in my stream?

A GOP gambit to tap down people who care about the victims. Guthrie graduated to finding girls for Epstein I think and that destroyed her in the end. Could be what is happening.... trying to break that connection/humanity you feel to all the innocent lives destroyed.

Okay I'm wildly speculating.

Their algorithms are designed to keep you watching, so they serve up whatever has worked to keep others watching, or rather what matches the profile of what has worked on others.

For comparison, what do you watch? Could they be watching you?

Doesn't know when to stop. It wants you to watch the same stuff over and over again. Sometimes I open links in private tabs so the algorithm leaves me alone. This is a real thing.
