A fresh X account that skipped all preference screens got softcore content in its first four For You posts

NathanpmYoung created a new X account for a project and skipped every preference screen. The first four items in the "For you" feed were all translated-from-Chinese borderline/softcore posts and low-quality threads — one with 117K views. An accidental cold-start experiment showing where the recommendation algorithm drifts with zero preference signals.
