"Some really yucky content. We're sexualizing underage girls, promoting some very iffy accounts, and serving this content to people who didn't ask for it"

Melissa ████: "hey yall, was chatting with Tomas about how many people are complaining about sexualized content getting recommended to them in Reels" Melissa ████: "Some really yucky content. We're sexualizing underage girls, promoting some very iffy accounts, and serving this content to people who didn't ask for it instead of more inspiring interest content" Thomas Kabbabe: "Thanks for flagging Melissa! I went to some of these accounts to check them out and they are FAR from being recommendable" Melissa ████: "The Explore team fell into a trap where so much popular content in Explore was sexualized, it was really hard to ever make any adjustments to Explore to fix it because doing so would reduce time spent. Getting rid of it would impact communities like fitness, become really painful for our community because they were used to having that distribution which would create PR issues. So we should get ahead of this stuff before norms are established"
