Has anyone else experienced an uptick in right leaning propaganda on Youtube? [View all]

I've been scrolling trough shorts today on Youtube, a bad habit I admit. Of course they know I lean left and the content I'm shown usually reflects that. Not today. There was a noticeable uptick in right leaning content. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know of a change in Youtube that might be the cause of it?
