Shorts are deliberately and effectively addictive. Once Google found out they could copy the TikTok paradigm without being sued, they forced it down everyone's throat. Ever wonder why you can't disable shorts? Because they KNOW it's addictive. We are being farmed.

YouTube is a vital tool for news and information. It should be NATIONALIZED, and purposefully exploitative technology like shorts should be BANNED.

    I agree with everything you said, to some degree. I'm just saying that shorts on my account are great, because I've honed my algorithm over many years so that it only gives me relevant stuff. I never see anything I don't want to see, basically. My Watch Later list overfloweth. 😅
