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?

Bro you should have investigated the actual answer to this question before asking it publicly ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

It's not to say you're watching lots of soft core porn but the algorithm has definitely decided that you'll like it

There's alot I could argue with but maybe the best answer I have is: why just the shorts? The rest of my YouTube feed kinda sucks but it isn't porn or titillating at all.

Before anyone rails on OP too much let me tell you this. My shorts feed was full of tech stuff. Then one day I clicked on a hot girl and watched a few of the shorts. Big mistake. Now even though I'm not clicking on them again my feed looks like OPs.

I guess the lesson here is. Never click on these shorts ever if you don't want to get spammed by them.

I disabled shorts because it's brain-melting garbage, just like TikTok, which its based on.
