Ask HN: Is the YouTube shorts algorithm broken?

  How do you mean broken? You mean as in the recommendation algo is inferior to Reels or TikTok?

    It keeps recommending repetitive content even though I've been disliking all those videos. By those videos I mean trans, overweight, animal cruelty, and Indian related. At least this is my experience and I've seen shorts comments telling the same thing.

  Completely broken for like 2 weeks now. Such weird stuff showing up. Repetitive videos, weird Indian stuff. Young girls asking if they are fat. It’s creepy.

    Perfect description of my shorts recommendations. Pretty strange, and feels like I'm not alone.
