It's so funny one wanting to become the other, yt went to shit after shorts and tiktok is doing the same.
Why can't they put shorts somewhere else? I do watch them but I don't always want them, they clog up results and recommendations so bad
I hate that on the YouTube mobile app the shorts take up the entirety of your screen when you first open it. Like they really want you to watch shorts over their regular video content. And YouTube shorts still to this day don’t even work. If you open YouTube and watch 50 shorts a day, once a day for a week, after the first day you’ll see like one new short a day. There’s no algorithm, it just shows you the same exact shorts in almost the same exact order over and over again.
Why use the YouTube app? Firefox with ublock, never see an ad again
I have a Google 1 family account which comes with YouTube Premium.
FF with Ublock is not a very comfortable experience. I much prefer Newpipe.
