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?

I had the idea to start counting it as a "Thirst-trap BINGO" each time every single thumbnail for shorts recommendations had a half naked woman with her mouth slightly open. Turns out that it happened more than half the time, and the game quickly got boring.

I have never watched a single short on YouTube, so apparently it's just the default recommendations that are horny af.
