I don’t generally use YouTube since I find it more frustrating than enjoyable or useful, but I occasionally follow links that look interesting. I had never paid attention to “shorts” except they appeared extra annoying the one time I tried.
Sure enough, mine are similar. Oh well, I’ll continue ignoring them as mostly annoying
The funny part is that sometimes I play this little game to see how many videos it takes to fully pornify my home page and it doesn't work if you want it to be like that.
All magnets and "chefs" over here
Doesn't happen to me on YT but on Facebook with suggested pages but only for a brief while....
Mine are mostly about nail art techniques and skincare reviews in French.
I haven't actively used Facebook since I was in high school, and recently scrolling through my feed it's not even softcore it's straight up p*rn!
I keep hiding these posts & they don't stop appearing... I wish I could tell Facebook I'm not a perpetually online horny teenager anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Those are some big Costco guys 😅
Yup
Great. You made me actually search for the titles. I guess it's infectious.
Mine is like 50% vids from people I mildly dislike and 50% Vtubers. I think there is really just not very much good short content.
Edit: To clarify, I'm not anti-Vtuber, I'm just not convinced that a 30 second clip from a livestream counts as good short content. The only high quality shorts channels I'm aware of are Tom Bates (who produces Nigel and Marmalade, a series about a tiny wizard and his dog-horse best friend) and Natural Habitat Shorts (funny animations about anthro animals, based on real animal facts).
IT'S NOT CORN! IT'S CALLED A THIRST TRAP I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, UNEDUCATED PIG!
</ sarcasm> (just to be sure)
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.
My is just offensive memes. LOL
Mine is video games, guitar playthroughs, and fragments of bands I listen to performing live
My facebook reels are worse than that - endless girls shaken their boobs and ass at me. Most of them look extremely fake and enhanced with AI to make everything bigger. Often there will be a split second scene in the clip (too short to be caught by the censorship system?) of something pornographic. Seems like most of the girls have an Onlyfans.
I don't watch porn or browse thirst traps on instagram or anything. It's nuts.
I was spammed with those when shorts started. It took forever but I finally don't have those suggested anymore. As someone else posted, once creators I follow started doing shorts, those appeared as suggestions and took over the feed.
