I still don’t understand the appeal of YouTube shorts… It feels like the rational behind it is “hey, I can watch 10 meaningless shorts in the same amount of time it would take to watch one video that has an actual point”. I guess that’s why I’ve never gotten in to tiktok either lol
Would it make more sense if they were labelled “YouTube Dopamine Hits” ?
There isnt any appeal. It is just them trying to carve into that tiktok market, but the people watching tiktok are already just watching tiktok, so it is basically just there to annoy the rest of us.
It’s funny because everyone shits on tiktok for it’s short videos yet I regularly watch videos that are 3-5 minutes long if not longer.
Your feed shows you what you interact with. Outside of ads I rarely see content that’s not related to my interests and most of the videos I see are much longer than a vine.
Which is especially ironic to me how vines weren’t considered attention span killing brain rot that everyone sees tiktok to be.
Vines were never culturally ubiquitous enough for old people to know what they were and rant about it.
Just use NewPipe or invidious Lol.
ReVanced literally solves every single one of these problems.
Am I the only one who finds those stupid looping shorts annoying? It honestly makes me feel like I have amnesia… The second I hear the video transition into a loop I’m like nope, I’m out of here…
My wife will show me instagram nonsense and it’s just annoying as fuck. There’s text and video and speaking all at the same time immediately in the video, there’s no possible way to get all of it on the first view, so you have to let it loop. I fucking hate it
Search on YouTube is truly terrible now. 8/10 results are sponsored ads, other things you may like, watch it again, etc. Like wtf I literally searched something else.
that’s google for you. “Don’t be evil!” ^TM
