With that said, how can this guy be all 'the algo shows me anime in the recommended/related images because it knows I like that' and at the same time also say 'why are there very young and scantily clad girls being shown, i'm not into that stuff at all' ?
"This guy" is me, the guy who made the video. I could draw you a Venn diagram of two circles, one with people who enjoy Japanese animation, and one who are pedos. There may be some intersection, but logic is apparently lost on you.
No part of that explains the algorithm discrepancy. You can address that at any time you like.. and have not so far. So its not that I dont understand logic, you just diverted to something not relevant and pretended like you had made some compelling observation.
You think its flawed? You think its steering all images away to pedo stuff, regardless of the initial searching and topics?
Since I put that video up, I've had people who do not look up anime-related stuff on Pinterest and still get pictures appealing to predators. You were lumping me into a category of predators, calling me "sketchy as hell," and if true then I wouldn't even be on this forum, much less pointing out how the algorithms steer people to such images. A picture of an adult woman in a bikini should not steer people towards kids.
If this was some tiny, barely used and largely unheard of site that had an algo that steered people toward criminal content within a couple minutes of first visiting the site, thats one thing.
For a large company to do this is a whole different category, by the sheer number of additional data points available. Here are the questions that are more applicable to this situation..
Is it new? When did this start happening? Was there an announced policy change or update that occurred as the change happened? Has it always happened? Why are more people not noticing this? Are they noticing and keeping quiet? Do your friends, contacts etc on the site see it happening as well? Is it something bizarre tailored to you specifically, or to some grouping of interests you have expressed? And so on and so forth.
That's a lot to leave unsaid and unspoken on such a topic - especially here. In any other context if you saw something similar put up by someone else, I'd hope you would also ask questions.
I’m sorry, I realize I wrote that poorly. I didn’t mean that you were looking at CP, just that anime has easy tangents to CP, so I imagine algos are triggered easily to go from “hot Asian girl” to “anime girl” to “young anime girl” to “inappropriate young girl”. Didn’t mean to connect you to that, my apologies for the bad wording.
Never used pinterest, dont know shit about it..

Sketchy as hell.
You can like anime but not want to see children. The service finds and presents images for you. I like RPG but do I want to see devil worship.

Yea the guy probably drifted a bit too close to the underage content too often. Especially if he’s into anime, they love that shit
Actually, "the guy" is me, the OP. I don't look at pedo stuff. Not every person into anime is a pedo.

Alright, fair enough, fren. Thanks.
