My YouTube recommendations are usually gaming, finance, news, movie trailers and they are pretty spot on. And then I have my YouTube shorts recommendations (as below). It seems like YouTube decided to throw away the reco in homepage when deciding the reco for shorts. These shorts are gonna make my wife start doubting what I follow on YouTube. No, I don’t need a YouTube account if I really had to simp. Are your short recommendations filled with influencer chicks? TC: $300k
Lmfao 100% the same, and my watch history is paused at all times and I don’t really consume any media on my phone…so it’s not like any activity I have would prompt that. Freaking YouTube and their weird AF algos.
Bro you are 100% engaging with content that is relevant to that. Either google searches or google ads or subtle YouTube communities relevant to it. My shorts are a bunch of cooking and coding videos
The only engagement I believe I have is it showing up in my feed. If I click on one of them and scroll down, I’ll get the relevant shorts as 2-3rd. But rarely my interests show up in homepage 😅 Also, I only use work devices (laptop + phone provided by office) most of the time. I doubt I would engage in such content with work devices 😄
Can't believe the algo is pushing Millie Brown, she's only 18
I don't experience that on YT shorts, but I did experience that on TikTok (which is why I uninstalled it). My guess is someone was using your PC or your account
So r u telling us you are gay?
I said I’m not a simp, that does not declare me a gay 😂
Since the question is recommendations which is based on relevance, being guy is enough for you to be recommended such shorts. The extent to which you r interested on them depends on your simp level and algorithm backpropogates your feedback to tune accordingly.
What other people on your wifi view also may have an impact. Maybe your wife watches these. I once had a roommate move in, a month down the line I'm getting recommendations for videos in his language, one which I don't even speak or have ever engaged with.
They do listen to your conversation so they might be hearing his language.
I was able to clean up the thirst traps easily. It gets annoying but you have to select the “not interested” / “don’t recommend” button as you watch shorts. The algorithm is poor but it gets better if you manually intervene. It still tries inserting Andrew Tate & right wing “owning the libs” videos even after I put don’t recommend though. It really doesn’t want me to stop watching those videos. 🤔
We know what you Really want to see deep down my friend.
