My guess is that there is no "slowly introducing" anything.

It just sees that content made by sex workers is popular and puts it in your feed.

The point of the original poster was that those videos have zero views or low rating - not popular by any means - and they appear out of place in the stream.

Youtube does it too, and my best guess is that it is a form of supervised training and the real question is who's being trained.
