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?

    It only seems to show me the same 15-20 shorts since they first started featuring shorts on the main page. They’re relevant to what I watch, but they’re all hella old and I’ve seen the ones that interest me already. IDK why it never updates.

          I have no idea but I experience the same problem with small set of repeating shorts when on my home wifi network.

          If I disconnect my phone from the wifi and use mobile internet instead, it often starts working better with YouTube Shorts.

          Edit: my comment was about the set of shorts repeating and not why the algorithm choose sexy shorts for you.

      I watched them mindlessly for a while, starting recently. But then the algorithm just started showing me like the same 15 videos and nothing else. One or two new ones here and there, but it’s definitely fully lost any interest I had.
