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?

I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:
Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants
Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)
Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites' cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen "enable history to see recommendations" blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It's not. I remember all the channels I like, and it's easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.
It's amazing how Google thinks giving you the content you actually want to see is some kind of punishment, especially when 90% of the other content is sweaty needs whining about how woke Hollywood is.
