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?

    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.
