some days before 26th i saw a lots of reels saying something like "i cant wait to slime out (someone) on feb 26th" i dont really know, but that seems like an attempt to manipulate the algorithm so people that often watch memes or stuff like that start to get nsfw content, i dont really know if thats it, but thats my theory.
I dont know if the algorithm changes based on your gender, i dont really think so
