I did not know that killed shorts. Good to know! The only thing is I don't find the home tab too addicting and I feel like it can be nice for when I'm getting into a completely new topic.

For example, I'm just getting into music production so I have no idea who to subscribe to and just searching music production gives me way too much content. I had this show up on my home page which I thought was really helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT66Qwms-Mw&t=1572s

Maybe I should selectively turn it on and off, because yeah usually it's way too aggressive unless it's a new topic. I really wish social media sites gave more control over the algorithm. Like I just want to talk to an LLM and tell it what type of algorithm I want. More tame algorithm goes against their business model though so maybe I'll have to build it myself :)
