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?

exactly! its not so much that the algo is skewed against us (although...), but mostly the content it has available to it and our lizard brains in general that arn't helping. (or rather out desire to win the popularity contest and thus manipulate it in a way the algo is sensitive to). Because 90% of the 'pretty girl' videos wouldn't have these stereotypical clickbait dames in them if it didn't work in the first place
