Some headlines I remember the algorithms feeding me while I was being psychologically tortured in Boulder or living with my parents (no screenshots, sorry):

You Will Never Have a Legacy

(served via Firefox home feed, article was about the irrelevance of legacies in climate-changed/postindustrial society)

Man Banned from Airline after Flying with COVID

(served via Windows News app, thumbnail was of JetBlue, the airline I flew on when I went to my parents' after having a breakdown from torture, though I was intercepted and hospitalized during the flight)

Why I Was Followed by the FBI

(I don't remember the exact headline unfortunately, but the article also contained a line that went like "It brought me comfort knowing that if I was killed, at least someone would know who did it.")

(this was in the week after an online user had tried to induct me via coded language, which led to the lights in my house flashing and my apartment being surrounded by grey sedans. Yes, I am sure this was not in my head.)

After I posted screenshots pushing back against smears against the legitimacy of my claims, such as the screenshots from 2018 in which I tried to warn @BradyInstead about the abusers in his circle, the spooky algorithm suggestions have become more ambiguously encouraging.

In any case, it is still brainwashing. However much the people behind subliminal messaging want to backpedal, it is clear to me that these algorithmic strategies which attempt to program people are manipulative, and target individuals via insecurities and mental vulnerability.

Regarding the basis of mental health, subliminal messaging isn't really eugenic -- after all, any population is vulnerable to hypervigilance. It is purely psychological torture.

I still get creepy YouTube suggestions, but they are subliminal to the point that it wouldn't make sense to other people -- topics preying on childhood interests and vague things people shouldn't know about me, unless they had FBI-level connections.

Some older creepy YouTube suggestions that served as psychological torture (I am not blaming the creators, just the algorithm curation. These always appeared top in my YouTube home feed.)

Context for this one: I am staying with my partner in a hotel currently. This was served while I was planning my trip.

I kept getting more sublimal Skyrim-themed recommendations. Nothing in my watch history pertained to Skyrim, this is purely a mode of psychological manipulation via video titles.

Lots of random short videos that wouldn't be recommend normally.

I could go on. The point is, this is psychological manipulation, and it does not serve the interests of anyone except those who seek to covertly destabilize, radicalize, or bait those who are already mentally ill.
