I'm surprised there was no mention of shorts which take attention away from long form content. It's all they a pushing these days. In my feed I regularly see 6 shorts, then a video, then 6 more shorts. TikTok is not the ideal model for everyone.

If you're on a web browser, there are extensions that hide them (for now). That and members only and such.

Soon, assuming my setup continues to work, my youtube experience will be completely unlike the default: no shorts, no autoplay, no ads, no sidebar recommendations, homepage is subscriptions, no premium.

I'm bleeding them dry!
