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?

IDK, I've been having decent luck with them lately. After channel banning a bunch of thirst trap and tikthot dance vids, I'm really only seeing cooking/science/D&D shit in my shorts feed.

There is a part of me that does want to scroll through short form videos, but they're all run by companies I hate:

  1. TikTok (eeeeeeewwwwww, I won't touch them with a 40 foot pole)
  2. Meta (Just no, why would I want to help Zuck)
  3. YT (I lost my trust in them with so many other things)
  4. Snapchat (this is probably the most plausible, as this company is E-tier while the others range from F tier to M tier)
