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 get loads of funny content, a lot of great female comedians on shorts at the moment and skit writers. A lot of brief science videos trying and often succeeding in tempting me down a rabbit hole. Then random stuff like rainbolt guessing the country in 0 01 seconds of a greyscale image, nilered showing how radioactive things are or how great they look exploding. Plus a few oddball bits that come from nowhere, and of course nerd girls thirsttrapping with golden era sci-fi themed science facts but not nearly as many as you'd think considering how quick I click on them.

Great. You made me actually search for the titles. I guess it's infectious.

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.

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.
