there is that podcast called rabbit hole (by nytimes) which was very revealing to me.
i started using youtube before it became a popular platform and never in my life have i ever watched a conspiracy theory video on youtube! i don't think i have ever been recommended one either. i only hear about them in the news.
so hearing that person talk about how youtube recommended videos upon videos to them was really surprising. there were names that i have never even heard of.
so yes, social platforms changing people's view is real and a problem.
