Do you run an adblocker like PiHole or ADGuard on your network?
I do have a PiHole. Why would that change the recommendations?
I have no idea but I experience the same problem with small set of repeating shorts when on my home wifi network.
If I disconnect my phone from the wifi and use mobile internet instead, it often starts working better with YouTube Shorts.
Edit: my comment was about the set of shorts repeating and not why the algorithm choose sexy shorts for you.
Perhaps if their ad services (googleadservices.com, doubleclick) have something to do with it, but I frankly doubt it.
