Some irony there. Tik Tok wants to be more like Youtube with its long form content. Youtube wants to be more like Tik Tok with its shorts content.
Neither seems to be winning the opposing battle.
Fucking YouTube shorts.
Every content creator has to partake in the stupidity because it's that or becoming an algorithm outcast, so they awkwardly cut bits of their videos just to post a couple of those.
And then YouTube forces them in everyone's throat, with absolutely no regard for the medium and no option to filter them out.
No, YouTube, I won't watch your stupidly formatted 10-second bits of nothing on my TV.
I'm so done with shorts I've added the whole shorts element to my adblocker.. you can't select the seeker bar in shorts, you can't autoscroll lol literally a retarded copy of tiktok with zero user experience functionalities
If you need to you can always replace the
shortspart in the url withwatchto get the normal interface back.Can this be automated?
there's probably already a tamperMonkey script out there, check greasyFork or something
