Guys I hope the algorithm is impartial or not politicized anyway ;-) #6929

Checklist

What's your question(s)?

I searched for MSNBC and it gives me results accordingly, but after I watch the first clip the second and succeeding clips are all Fox. I don't think this is how it was intended to work ? Or Well I just hope the algorithm would give me a fair deal that's all. Searching for MSNBC means not Fox right ? Hmmm... Coincidence ? I did the same using YouTube and the results showed MSNBC clips and I played the same first clip and the succeeding lineup only had one Fox way down near the bottom. Just hoping NewPipe would have an impartial algorithm that's all. Just a concern. Thanks !

Additional context

NewPipe has no algorithm or anything of that sort. It just makes a request to youtube for the video and takes all of the information of the webpage it receives, including suggestion. So suggestions are still coming from youtube and their algorithms
