YouTube shorts, worse app, same addiction, trashy content promoted by their banal algorithm, completely fine I even prefer long form YouTube, which is also addictive! I open more tabs every day than I can possibly watch in a week And all social media apps suffer from this (addiction, clickbait title/thumbnails, low quality fluff, propaganda, censorship...) Even Netflix, but we call it "binge", instead of addiction, so that's also fine Progress should be made in interesting relevant content discovery, and addiction prevention But trying to beat China at their own game seems like a shot in the foot
