The algorithm tracks and factors in what you read. Since I don't read "Twitter politics" this person would never appear in results for me.

It's like when people note that all they see is right-wing stuff on Twitter or wherever. It's like, "Well, you're clearly engaging with it or it wouldn't target you." Consequently, I see almost no politics on my Reddit, YouTube, or Twitter feeds.
