I am always surprised by articles like this. Instagram never recommends sexual videos to me.

It’s very easy to train it.

1. Search “TikTok dance”

2. Scroll until one is at the beach thus bikini

3. Let it loop a couple times

4. Exit the app and comeback - that’s your new feed

As a former rock climber and sailor I appreciate knots. I sometimes watch videos on youtube about knot theory and rope handling practices. One subset of this is "braiding" of rope, which is an important rope-handling technique. But I watch one video about braiding hair and for MONTHS youtube is pushed me nothing but makeup tutorials and teenager fashion junk.
The issue with even saying you don't like something seems to be that _everything_ contains some sort of sexualized being. Into fitness? here's a mostly naked person doing fitness. Hiking? Same. Gardening? Yup! Etc... How can the algorithm possibly disambiguate?
Humans…SMH… :-)
How different people's experiences with social media platforms can be. Instagram for me too but YouTube shorts sometimes..
search for "transparent clothing influencers" on a fresh account and you will get a flood of them
