IT’S NOT CORN! IT’S CALLED A THIRST TRAP I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW, UNEDUCATED PIG!

</ sarcasm> (just to be sure)

Doesn’t happen to me on YT but on Facebook with suggested pages but only for a brief while…

All magnets and “chefs” over here

The funny part is that sometimes I play this little game to see how many videos it takes to fully pornify my home page and it doesn’t work if you want it to be like that.

Mine is standup comedy, quick videos on how to use modern weapons, quick videos on how to use medieval weapons, FPS gamers doing crazy moves, and those guys who make love action shorts about video games.

My advice is stop giving thumbs up to the softcore porn.

I don’t generally use YouTube since I find it more frustrating than enjoyable or useful, but I occasionally follow links that look interesting. I had never paid attention to “shorts” except they appeared extra annoying the one time I tried.

Sure enough, mine are similar. Oh well, I’ll continue ignoring them as mostly annoying

I get the “Fun fact!” guy, that sorta fat dude who apparently has a forge and a farm and runs a DnD campaign…? that one dude that critiques crap tool reviews and ends every video with “There you go!” and a channel that…over-explains the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers?

I don’t get any tit bait which means I’ve either done something wrong or done something right.

This post needs a [META] tag

With shorts, yes. I don’t really watch shorts tho. Their suggestions for horizontal videos are mostly news, cars, robots, and woodworking.

My facebook reels are worse than that - endless girls shaken their boobs and ass at me. Most of them look extremely fake and enhanced with AI to make everything bigger. Often there will be a split second scene in the clip (too short to be caught by the censorship system?) of something pornographic. Seems like most of the girls have an Onlyfans.

I don't watch porn or browse thirst traps on instagram or anything. It's nuts.

Gingernate ,

But you sure watch them FB reels hahahahahaha

The algorithm force feeds you what you want to see… whether you know it or not

Judging purely from what you’ve already clicked on.

Is this that family friendly platform I keep hearing about?

Are you using the app? Are you logged in?

Ask yourself why, then log out, delete the app, and go watch on a browser without logging in.

Or if you have to use an app, try Smarttube or something similar. Without logging in.

gunpachi ,

From the image, I have seen 3 of them on my youtube homepage.

It’s such a distraction while you are browsing for videos… Recently I have been trying this extension to block off shorts. I think it works for the most part.

Hope this helps someone.
