I’m gonna be honest dude. The “shorts is just over-sexualised jailbait” is a you issue, and more of a self report on the shit you watch, or you being hyperbolic. I often watch shorts and have not once ever seen anything remotely as you describe.
You get served kid videos because you watch them, which is sick of you. It’s wild you’d admit that when common knowledge is algos show you content you seem to like.
Jailbait is probably the wrong word, but every single short has a scantily clad young lady.
It isn’t the Algorithm because all I watch are Machining Videos, DIY and Restoration Videos and the occasional Science and Natural History video.
The most risqué channel subscribe to is VanWives.
Speaking of which, the Algorithm never serves anything that I subscribe to. I would better off going straight to my Subscriptions page.
I will maintain my observation that the Algorithm is shit.
I don’t get allot of that, possibly because I have History turned off and refuse to turn it back on.
I vastly avoid Right Wing content, and most of what I do encounter is like old school Republican, reeeally old school Republican. They are as pissed at the Right Wing’s take over by the Alt-Right(and worse)
YouTube has games?!?
The shorts content I get is mostly computer content and news, some branding because I have entered contests, and that is it. I have seen 1 short that was even approaching jailbaity and it was an add for a coming of age movie.
It has been literally over a year since I used Google to find a video (well except for a tech support video I keep loosing the link to that I use to help people with installing Windows 11 Locally) and I have been using Startpage which anonymizes Google results.
If you disabling your Ad ID and turning off your history and you still get all that BS I would be looking for an Exit Strategy to.
I usually get bombarded with Right-Wing content after I watch Juice Media videos.
Also, if a watch a feminist video, it is usually followed by recommendations of “AnTi-WoKe” mansplaining videos.
it is if they want to show “Both Sides” after I watch something about maintaining democracy and contributing to society in a positive way.
The YouTube Games are just another banner of unwanted “content” like Shorts.
The T&A shorts are usually of young women in jeggings and crop-tops doing risqué actions; if your mouse passes over the Shorts for a millisecond , YouTube autoplays them and registers as a view, creating a negative feedback loop of more and more scantily clad young women doing mundane things in a risqué way.
I don’t know… maybe it is because I am consuming most of my YT content on desktop and that carries over to my android experience. As a matter of fact I don’t consume shorts on Android and that may be the difference. My feed on desktop is all computer stuff, CBC stuff, occasional Marvel stuff, and ASMR stuff, and half of that I don’t watch.
I really feel sorry for you if that is what your Android Experience is. I would suggest GrayJay or New Pipe to get out of the Algorithm then. I could remember back about 5 years ago when I started getting full episodes as an ad, of absolute religious trash, and I am talking when I reported them the channel was banned in a single report trash, at a time when I, due to illness, that I would listen to while soaking in the tub with a lift to get my sick ass in an out, and they would put 45 minute shows as ads. I would get so angry but its a long ad, so it wasn’t worth me getting out of the bath to skip it, and 15 minutes later of “Kill the HOMO-Sexuals” and “that current bad thing happened because we voted in those godless communists and socialists… why we should just hang them and save the country! A-MEN!!!” and I was using up power on my bath lift to get my sopping wet butt up and report their ass. After the 5th report I temporarily moved to New Pipe and stuck to desktop where I got full episodes as ads but not THOSE episodes.
YouTube can really fuck themselves over when they sell contra-ads on leftist, or any media, and now they are reaping the whirlwind with the ad platform and the search platform in the middle of Antitrust right now.
This is ridiculous.
I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Vision Pro just so I can use Juno and bypass all the bullshit.
Time I planned an exit strategy.

Never see scantily clad young ladies in my shorts.
Maybe ThE aLgOrThMs insistence to put scantily clad women in everyone’s Shorts is just a really bad attempt at a bad Dad Joke.

Removed by mod
Just use NewPipe (alternative YouTube front-end with more features and no ads)
The recommendations are not the best but good enough. I usually get movie clips, repair clips, some animal clips and some tech ones.
