Apparently these recommendations are "just for me": Brazilian author goes topless to fight book piracy, Cam girl's emotional reaction to trolling goes viral, Half-naked daughter helps Dad sell 1977 Datsun on eBay. Each with an illicit photo.

Is there a more reputable source, perhaps?

Youtube seems to be pushing these recommendations on me as well.

The funny thing is that "normal" recommended videos are usually preceded by the message "Recommended for you because you watched ..." on youtube's home page. The suggestive recommendations, however, are preceded by a simple, mysterious "Recommended for you".
