Yeah, I've given up experimenting, but it is exactly that set of Maher/Rogan/Peterson, three names I've actively avoided for quite a while.

I probably wouldn't have remembered it if it weren't a continual anti-recommendation of what are (in my mind) somewhat niche speakers. It's also surprising given at least Rogan and Peterson's troubles with advertisers.

It's not like it's <latest movie trailer> or <breaking news story> or something else of a general appeal. Maybe YT is trying to demonstrate they're not censoring or something?

I do watch SNL and some CC stuff occasionally, but I mostly search for STEM and history lectures/documentaries, or "10 hrs of nondescript background music".
