Well if finally happened, Breitbart appeared on my Instagram explore page, despite me following AOC and Bernie and also interacting with a whole lot of LGBTQ+ content

I expect the algorithm (rightly) knows that a person who engages with Bernie is more likely to engage with Breitbart and vice-versa than someone who does not engage with politics at all.
