Do y'all remember "the weird part of YouTube"? (feddit.org)

I just remembered that back when YouTube generally used to show you actually related videos in the sidebar sooned or later you'd reach this so-called weird part which was basically an assortment of increasingly unhinged recommendations. It's funny to me that back then that was basically the only time when the algorithm failed to be invisible. But I was also quite young when the weird part of YouTube was a thing so I'd be interested to know if any of you remember specific clips you've seen there and any other details I might not have mentioned. The only videos that seem to have left a lasting impression on me were a 9/11 conspiracy documentary and a slideshow about a horrific, likely fake skin disease.
