    not only is the shorts UI shitty but the shorts themselves are often shitty imo, or at least the “scroll through shorts one at a time” linear format means you see a lot more videos you wouldn’t click on intentionally.

      “No YouTube I do not want to watch Jordon Fucking Peterson. I will NEVER want that. Fuck all the way off.”

      I stopped watching shorts because of the unwanted boosts of fascist content.

        Silver lining: It gave me the opportunity to “dislike” Jordan Peterson, which was not an opportunity I previously had.

        I mean, I guess I always HAD the option, but there’s something to be said about having somebody serve it up on a platter like that.
