I almost never watch “shorts” but my suggestions for it seem to have an…uhhh…adult theme. I don’t watch any such thing with YouTube. Does everyone see garbage like this?

Way to out yourself. Their algo depends on what you spend time watching. Lol
Eh. Pretty much all of my viewing is related to physics I don’t understand, astronomy I don’t understand, and weird history stuff. I still get the soft porn algorithm on shorts.
Closest I come to viewing is when I’m scrolling and my phone interprets that as a click. Then I get pissed off because that fraction of a second for the algorithm is like letting a single pregnant cockroach into your kitchen.
Try to remember to select the ‘Don’t recommend this channel’ any time you see those sorts of videos. I’ve been doing that a ton lately and my shorts feed is mainly shit that’s actually interesting, and the more I ban those shit vids, the better my feed has been getting.
This is just untrue. Shorts defaults to the same for me as a gay man who has never clicked on a single one of them.
I had a phase, where it suggested loads of shorts from turkish cigarrette factories. I never watched anything cigarrette related and my subs contain mostly science communication, makers and some commentary channels
Idk when I made a new account on Facebook all it did was show me fake pages with porn. After a while the algorithm caught up to my style and now I have to go find it randomly lol
I constantly get pro right wing, pro Christian garbage in my feed. I keep spamming do not recommend channel and not interested and yt keeps shoveling that garbage in my shorts feed. Ads are also “suggested” based on geophraphic area.
While that is true, it’s also true that if the algo has no data on you it just shows you what most other people want to see, which is usually boobs
Obviously not.
I’ve never had anything softcore-adjacent even, mine are filled with magicians and obscure shorts that are not sexual in any way, at any point in history. They seem highly targeted toward my viewing history at any given moment in time.
My viewing history is disabled, so maybe pseudo-porn is just the default
I’ll say that at least a few months ago, on a brand new system I went to YouTube and it looked pretty much like this, with a fresh history and no login. I thought it was unusual and then I logged in and they mostly went away.
Yeah, it seems to show me mostly comedy stuff, tool and hardware stuff, and some computer and retro gaming stuff. But almost none of this kind of stuff.
