Social media algorithms are so tedious.  Youtube Shorts are the worst.  This video short has been presented on my Youtube feed for several days.

Youtube suggested this video because I watched Charlie Kirk on Bill Maher’s podcast.  It could be that, or it could be that she is a fetching woman with buckets of cleavage and a blurred out nipple.  It’s so manipulative, it pisses me off enough to never click on it.

I am in favor of fetching women with buckets of cleavage and blurred out nipples.  I don’t look for them on Youtube.  Something like 90% of my Youtube viewing goes toward popular podcasts like Megyn Kelly and Joe Rogen, movie reviewers like Critical Drinker and Disparu, and physicists like Sabine Hossenfelder and Angela Collier.  The rest is news or random videos.

How does Youtube choose the recommended Shorts? 

Here is the entire line up of recommended Shorts.

I’ve watched a few White House press briefings, so that explains Karoline Leavitt, but why the saucy vacation video?

The Grooving girl is a complete mystery.  Shorts don’t tell you who posted it, so there might be some reason for that video.

Megyn Kelly makes sense, but without knowing who posted it, when it went up or how long it is, why would I click on that?

Lisa in a Hurry doesn’t suggest anything.  Is she a cigarette girl at a night club?

And the Charlie Kirk post.

It’s as if Youtube is saying, “You are going to watch this on your phone, probably in a bathroom stall, so here are attractive women in tight clothing, taught stomachs, with a dash of boobs. Enjoy yourself.”

Oddly, the regular Youtube video suggestions match my viewing history.
