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?

    Mine’s similarly very good at recommending things that appeal to me. It does a good job at recommending a mix of videos from channels and topics I regularly watch and new things that appeal to me. It also recommends albums to me somewhat often that I end up really enjoying, too.

    I definitely understand people not wanting to have content served up to them by algorithms, but I will say my personal YouTube experience is a happy and interesting little bubble, for the most part. I don’t get any of the weird, hate-fuelled conspiracy videos, or the “AI reading out Reddit post” videos, or any of the other nonsense that I see other people have to deal with. Out of all of the social media algorithms I’ve experienced, it’s been by far the best one for me.
