    Where, precisely, are you seeing these things go viral? Or is it a site where it only says that something has gone viral without much further evidence?

    Yes, I know this sounds like that meme of “oh no tell me so I never go there” when secretly meaning the opposite, but I haven’t seen any of it in my feeds on the Fediverse, Bluesky or YouTube, to name but three, and I assume you don’t mean on the adult sites themselves.

    It could be that these viral things are linked to things you’ve searched previously and some algorithm is feeding you more of the same.

    That’s not a complete accusation by the way. I can imagine that if you’re a fan of celebrity news, for example, that some of the adult stuff might start to creep in even if you haven’t been specifically looking for it.

    This might also be some use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_celebrity_nude_photo_leak

    Leaks have always been a thing, but that was a particularly bad one.
