Local tab & location

I’ve been noticing my side acc has been getting content from my city. It’s not just a viral video, it’s many and some with very little likes. I tried to look in settings to see if I had location on or something similar, and I did not. I do not sync contacts, Facebook, or location.

Does anyone have this problem or know how to solve it? It happened around the time the ‘local’ tab showed up besides the fyp.
