I used to have this exact issue with what was essentially porn on Instagram reels (Meta is evil yeah I know but it's better than shorts and tiktok). I'd report those e-thots videos but it kept showing them because it considered it engagement. Eventually I got the algorithm to show me what I'm actually there for, memes, funny cat videos and the occasional car videos.

Just scrolling past them quickly eventually got it to stop.

It's a real shame that we can't just tell those sites what we want to see, or not see for that matter. Instead were victims of AI/THE ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM. I think that's part of the plan though, keep us on their site searching for content we actually want instead of finding it and being done. I'm dying for a YouTube replacement to come about. I'll enjoy that until the inevitable enshittification comes about.
