Controversy drives their algorithms.

The outrageousness of it all attracts views, ads, and money.

Personally, I fixed my algorithm so I could stop seeing it. Erased my search history, deleted videos from my viewing history as far back as I had patience for, and followed & watched other channels about healthy dating & marriage (it's good info but I also needed my general mood improved). It still took another month or so, but now the recommended videos & shorts don't show me RP content at all. It's like it doesn't exist anymore in my world

Selling snakeoil to disenfranchised young men is like shooting fish in a barrel

You calling yourself a Jeffery means that your search history is full of the crap

YouTube feeds you that because you keep watching it. Redpill is only a small part of YouTube.

I guess the most of this content is made because of money (ads, subs, sponsorships, etc.). And the reason it´s working is that many people in our day and age are struggling to find a girlfriend/boyfriend. It´s self repeating:

People are lonely -> go online, use dating apps -> online dating didn´t work -> youtube for the rescue -> try again... = generating thousands of subs and clicks.

The human mind retains negative emotions more effectively than the positive ones. Youtube and every other social media abuses this.

How does youtube become this cringe?

The simple answer, is that this is what happens when you give everyone a bullhorn, even those lacking qualified knowledge in their opinions.

Think about it. Go outside and look around. Would you value what an unhinged, slovenly stranger on the street has to say about relationships, as much as a PhD in sociology? Would you want access to the thoughts and opinions of all people you see around you, at all times?

The very basis of YouTube seems to be to watch other people doing life, instead of doing life yourself. It's become very meta, and when mixed with algorithms, far too influential.

It attracts the weak and vulnerable, these videos are created to prey on young male insecurities about themselves.

Because reading is hard

Because it makes views because it is needed

It depends on your history. Try using a new browser (something like duckduckgo) and use a private tab (maybe even through a vpn) to open youtube (don't log in). See if what's displayed is any different to what you're seeing now.

Just by knowing that my suggestions are way different to yours I can assure you, unless you missed out any of the steps above (e.g. an implicit login on your device) you'll be looking at a completely different world.

Change what you're exposed to and you'll change your perception of the world, and thereby the world itself. Based on that you should be very very careful with what you read and/or otherwise consume.

The screens you see are designed based along the lines of "hey you watched similar content we want you to see more of it". Atm you're in an echo chamber. It gives you what you fed it.

Search for how to do woodworking or other creative pursuits for a bit. That should already change things up.
