Is anyone else's queue filled ONLY with porn?
The last 3 queues I have gone through (all within the last 24 hours) were almost 100% porn related. I think 3 of the 36 games weren't.

Full disclosure, I have a few titles that are adult content related, but not enough that this should be happening. I also don't mind seeing one every once in a while (some are actually decent games without the adult stuff), so I would rather not turn off the tags completely if I can avoid it. Just wondering if I'm the only one...

If you click the 'not interested' button for things you are really not that interested in, it would likely show you less. It would be nice if it was considered a separate search category too, i.e. only comes up if you are specifically looking in that category rather than being mixed into any and every category it has a tag for.

Other than that, <shrug> do a youtube search for 'The Internet is for Porn Avenue Q'

The DQ shows the reasons why games are recommended to you. What's being said there?

The Queue gets hints on what was searched for or purchased and gives suggestion on like games.... if it's coming up in the Queue for you.... someone on that computer is looking for it. Time to start asking who's been looking at what in your house.... ;) someone's being "naughty"

If it's showing you porn it's cause you like it, it's kind of like youtube in that regard.

Steam's recommendation system is biased by the games you've played recently, which is pretty standard for how recommendation systems work. If you've played games that were tagged as adult or anime (even if it wasn't porn), that could be the reason your queue is favoring such titles now.

From my experience, it can also feel like the discovery queue gets stuck on certain types of games. With no other factors, it can take running through two or three queues for it to feel like Steam is shifting to different types of games. Considering all the games in the queue are being selected from the same factors, it isn't a surprise that a human might perceive a pattern among the titles. (This is even more true when you consider that humans are biased to create patterns even where patterns do not exist.) And if you generate a new queue soon after, you'll likely get another 12 games that are selected through nearly identical parameters. There simply hasn't been enough time passed for Steam to get any different opinion of you.

Basically, it will eventually pass if you keep burning through queues.

At the very least, even if all you play are adult games, eventually Steam will run out of adult game options to show you. Other selection factors will kick in, and you'll get offered other types of games.

There's nothing wrong with Anime. People who like Anime are the problem.

"People who live, breath, eat, sleep, dream, exist on Anime are the problem"

Fixed that for you....

That is not what I was saying.

Most of the titles the OP is complaining about have the anime tag on them which is what the queue is trying to recommend.

Valve has given up. Time for regulation: https://i.imgur.com/1gHNjAD.jpg

After reading the comments, I think I figured it out... 2 of the games I played from the Spring Cleaning event have the "adult content" tag (HuniPop and old RPG I haven't played in a while), and since I don't spend much time on here anymore, it must think that's all I play, even though I have thousands of hours in other games... Thanks for the input on how the queue "thinks".

I believe it does prioritize the tags of recently played games.
Mine is but I'm fine with everything on the store, so not much a problem for me. :2017stickyhotdog: :b1:

Anyways, just have it ignore Anime and you won't see the porn anymore.
Maybe if you ever actually bought something instead of shilled for Epic the system would know what to recommend you.

All you are doing is giving it data about what you don't like... so it's basically guessing.
