I'd not noticed anything even remotely personalised or suspect before using the Youtube app - it must be down to Youtube (i.e. Google), perhaps leveraging metadata provided by Fetch.

Well, yes, that's what's been most disturbing; the thought of "How did I deserve to be fed that?!". But if not actually random, maybe it is semi-random, i.e. if they figure out you're male, like sport, and watch films with Ana de Armas (or whatever criteria they use) then you get this stuff in your feed.

If it's Youtube's algortithm then I'm even more concerned for how Google conduct their business. If it's law enforcement luring people (on Youtube, that is) then I'm angry - no problem with them infiltrating shady/dark web sites, but don't screw around with Youtube feeds!
