How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

She's almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she's anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I'm trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.

70 isn't THAT old.

Anyone who reaches the average age of a U.S. Senator is basically senile.

My dad is 70 in a few years and still has Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and various other aerospace companies asking him to consult for them in his retirement.

I don’t totally disagree with you, but let’s not generalize.
