Fuck every company that does this. I don't like YouTube shorts. Can I disable YouTube shorts? No. Instead I can choose to "Show less often" which means absolutely nothing since they reappear in no time. Dark patterns are called that for a reason.

    I also love how whenever I do a search on Google on my phone I get reminded to use the Google app, or to download chrome, or some other “use our platform please” nag message that only goes away for 24 hours when I tell it to fuck off.

    If you run Android you can block shorts (and ads, and sponsors, and everything else annoying from YouTube)
