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?
All magnets and "chefs" over here

No same I think it got extremely much over the last 1/5 Months
Doesn't happen to me on YT but on Facebook with suggested pages but only for a brief while....
With shorts, yes. I don't really watch shorts tho. Their suggestions for horizontal videos are mostly news, cars, robots, and woodworking.
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)_/¯
Great. You made me actually search for the titles. I guess it's infectious.
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.
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.
Mine is video games, guitar playthroughs, and fragments of bands I listen to performing live
IT'S NOT CORN! IT'S CALLED A THIRST TRAP I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, UNEDUCATED PIG!
</ sarcasm> (just to be sure)
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).
My is just offensive memes. LOL
Yup
