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?

    Well that’s just not how recommendation algorithms work. A part of it will be content based, directly related to what the user can be associated with.

    However, the largest part is collaboration based filtering of content. That means, our user is put in a group based on his other preferences, let’s assume nerdy tech stuff, and then is shown content that he has not liked yet but his group of peers has, meaning he could probably like it too.

    In other words - he’s not the one in fault here, YOU are (you pretty much have to be nerdy tech folks to be here).

    Please, could everyone here stop clicking on this stuff so that OP don’t have to be associated with your filthy behavior, thank you.
