She&#39;s getting the Shorts section and she can&#39;t dismiss it, possibly due to the age of her device or an app issue. And she&#39;s being served horrible AI slop videos. Like, of a pitiful animal with like a gigantic tick or squid on its back preying on it.<br/><br/>She started getting served these horrifying videos about a week ago and can&#39;t dissuade Youtube&#39;s algorithm from showing her them, and because of the app issue can&#39;t dismiss the Shorts either. It&#39;s awful and she&#39;s distraught over it.
