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?

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.

Mine are mostly about nail art techniques and skincare reviews in French.

No same I think it got extremely much over the last 1/5 Months

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

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!

example (NSFW obviously)

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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Doesn't happen to me on YT but on Facebook with suggested pages but only for a brief while....

[–] gunpachi@lemmings.world 1 points 7 months ago

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.

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.

Great. You made me actually search for the titles. I guess it's infectious.

They are tracking you even in incognito with a VPN and even across services. People have been using these types of tools for a very long time and porn sites have been tracking people all the while. Basically your devices have enough unique attributes accessible through JavaScript API like make model, screen resolution, bluetooth radio capabilities like ble, connection speed, etc. Basically brute force every data point available in the API and use the results to build a profile to recognize you. Tools like https://modernizr.com/ while not exactly intended for this still make it easier.

How is one supposed to prevent an API from doing this?
