- Marsymars 2y agoNot especially relevant to the OP, but as a very light facebook user, I've noticed the same thing with reels in my feed. I assume they don't have enough info other than "male" to target me with.

- __turbobrew__ 2y agoI noticed this too. It appears to mostly be funnels into people’s onlyfans. Post some softcore porn on YouTube to bait people into purchasing an onlyfans subscription.

- LinuxBender 2y agoSame. I've never searched for anything close to that on YT as there are a plethora of other places for porn that don't even require a browser. Thankfully there are uBlock filters to get rid of shorts [1]. [1] - https://github.com/gijsdev/ublock-hide-yt-shorts https://github.com/gijsdev/ublock-hide-yt-shorts
