I think it has a stronger leftist pipeline than other platforms and so is better able to steer someone that way if they're susceptible to it. Same goes with neo-nazi shit but thats something already available on other platforms

No, it doesn't have a leftward pipeline. It recommends 2X as much right-wing content as left-wing content.

It may have had a left lean at somepoint, but it does not now.
