But at a certain point you're kind exacerbating it by doing what he's doing. Sure, you could charitably say that by having that kind of tag on his channel, that vulnerable young men might find it and be positively influenced.

But it also makes it more likely that people viewing his channel (for whatever reason) are going to get recommendations for other channels that use that kind of tag and content. Essentially, when someone views Poilievre's videos YouTube's algorithm is going to be inclined to serve what it sees as similar content, which might push toxicity on people who never sought it out. If you look through the more popular channels that use that tag, it's a pretty sorry group of red pill and misogynistic content.

And that doesn't even get into the fact that 5 of his 30 or so keywords are about Ben Shapiro. He has "Shapiro" three times for some reason, and then "Ben" and "Ben Shapiro".
