Am I the only one whose "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? (lemmy.world)

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?

Theyre separate algorithms so its prolly the only type of shorts youve clicked or hovered over for a some time

    That's the thing, I think I've watched maybe 2 shorts ever, pretty sure they were not like these or at least only mildly sexy

    But it’s Google, so they know your browsing history and have you in a “bucket” for what their metrics think will drive engagement from you. (Or they don’t know enough about you and just think boobs will get you intersted, because sex sells.)

    Meh. We’re all human. If Google thinks you like thirst traps, whatevs. Pretty ladies are pretty ladies.
    But if you don’t want to see it, you can probably use feedback tools to change what they show you.
