No, shorts are shit and I'm absolutely not sucked in. They try to emulate tik tok so I would say this format simply works for you.
I have a seething hatred for shorts. I refuse to watch anything designed like them on any platform.
That's part of the idea, isn't it? They mix normal content with max cringe content because that's what keeps people watching.
Absolutely. Thatβs completely not for me, no way, no how.
Ah, you already said it. Exactly how I feel.
It does unfortunately. I don't like it but it absolutely hacks my brain
Would love if there was just an option to disable shorts in the app because I still want to use original youtube
