Unless you fall into the bottomless rabbit hole that is Shorts. That's waaaaay more addictive than your regular long form YT content.
Fun fact: disabling watch history also disables Shorts.
- magicalhippo 1y agoI find shorts actively annoying. Every once in a while I click on one because it's not just a small tidbit from a longer video, and every time I get annoyed the feature exists and don't want to see another one for a long time.
- pbasista 1y ago> disabling watch history also disables Shorts. I have YouTube watch history disabled and when I search for something I usually get a few "lines" of search results filled with "Shorts".
- danielbln 1y agoYeah but the endless customized one-more-time mechanism won't work anymore, which is the addictive part.
- kaashif 1y agoI don't understand Shorts. My primary use case for YouTube is putting some 20-30 min video on the TV while I eat. I barely watch YouTube in any other context. I may be unusual but there's an entire subreddit for "mealtime videos" so this use case must be common.
