Doom scolled into deleted videos?

I was scrolling YouTube shorts for a good about 10 minutes and had connection issues on my phone. I turned off my VPN and kept scrolling. Strange videos started showing up. Videos of people getting mauled by tigers and lions, legless Russian soldier blowing himself up, people getting shot on police cams, recorded murders in the streets, strange scam videos, violent mobs, and many other weird things. I checked my YouTube history directly after and none of it was there. Going back to shorts to find they were back to normal again. I've not been able to recreate it since. Has anyone heard of something like that happening?
