Does watching someone who says kufr statements or blasphemous statements, such as holy [curse word] and oh my [curse word] God, or other blasphemous statements, that takes someone out of the fold of Islam? I know that YouTube promotes videos that receive more views, so every time I watch a video that have kufr statement but those statements aren't related to the topic of the video, the platform's algorithm promotes the video to others because I viewed it, does this mean that just by watching a video or even using a platform that allows kufr at all makes someone a kafir? Do you think I support Kafir for making it more visible to others on YouTube because YouTube promotes it because my viewing encourages YouTube to promote the video because I viewed it?

It is not permissible to watch such videos. Also it does not make one a Kafir.
