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?
My Instagram and Threads feeds are like that. Not YouTube.
I’ve found that shorts is pretty aggressive about serving up more of the same stuff if you watch something and don’t downvote it.
I've watched of one clip of that "NPC girlfriend" or whatever. Now the recommendation is all that and softcore porn. Haven't watched porn on YouTube, that I remember. Maybe it's because I turned off all tracking I could it just goes with age and gender or something.
Mine is but it also works for getting clicks on me because monkey brain
Yeah it's all that and that bald firefighting bloke. Honest kind of OK with it.
When I'm logged in, the few shorts they show me tend to be from channels I'm subscribed too. If I go to the homepage incognito (back when they still showed you stuff when you rejected their terms) it was mostly either shock value, expensive stuff, sexualised stuff, sports. So lowest common denominator stuff, I guess.
The algorithm force feeds you what you want to see... whether you know it or not
Is this that family friendly platform I keep hearing about?
I get the "Fun fact!" guy, that sorta fat dude who apparently has a forge and a farm and runs a DnD campaign...? that one dude that critiques crap tool reviews and ends every video with "There you go!" and a channel that...over-explains the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers?
I don't get any tit bait which means I've either done something wrong or done something right.
Most of them are promoting their OF
Yeah lots of thirst traps. I have the big issue on FB shorts. I have to admit I've taken the bait and honestly it's not worse than anything else on my feed so whatever.
Yes, but for some reason it's asian women doing sports. I never watch shorts anyway so whatever.
I had the idea to start counting it as a "Thirst-trap BINGO" each time every single thumbnail for shorts recommendations had a half naked woman with her mouth slightly open. Turns out that it happened more than half the time, and the game quickly got boring.
I have never watched a single short on YouTube, so apparently it's just the default recommendations that are horny af.
No, but I don't mind that. It's the only time short feed content is acceptable for me.
No same I think it got extremely much over the last 1/5 Months
All magnets and "chefs" over here
With shorts, yes. I don't really watch shorts tho. Their suggestions for horizontal videos are mostly news, cars, robots, and woodworking.
I don’t generally use YouTube since I find it more frustrating than enjoyable or useful, but I occasionally follow links that look interesting. I had never paid attention to “shorts” except they appeared extra annoying the one time I tried.
Sure enough, mine are similar. Oh well, I’ll continue ignoring them as mostly annoying
