(Yes, I am aware that the 'algorithm shows you what you engage with' but no matter how many times I click 'not interested' I seem to be in Indian thirst trap hell)
I have never engaged with a YouTube short, I’m not signed in, and I use an isolated profile. I’ll occasionally watch YouTube while I eat lunch. Home repair, cars/trucks/RV, and how to videos; all of which I assume is primarily a male audience.
All of my shorts suggestions are scantily clad females with clickbait titles. I can only assume that it’s the default content for people YouTube thing identifies as males. If it knows nothing else about you, it simply defaults to “sex sells”.
My personal YouTube account is a bit better. It’s mostly content from channels I subscribe to, but they throw in an occasional thirst trap.
It's really confusing.
