Why would you ever watch shorts in the first place? First thing I did when they appeared was make a ublock filter to hide them.

I’ve stopped watching YouTube shorts because of this, and the removal of the downvote count makes it harder to tell.

Considering a lot of the full YouTube videos are full of padding, taking over ten minutes to get to the point, I can understand why the shorts would have appeal.
Problem is one way or another people are being incentivized to target a specific runtime regardless of whether they have the material to fit.

I just skip those. There’s almost always a better one that was easy to find.

100% this I do everything I can to ignore shorts

I will never pay for youtube while the downvote count is gone. Absolute anti consumer bullshit.
I do use the add-on to bring them back, but fuck those assholes for doing this.

Am I the only one who sticks to subscriptions? It feels like everyone is just consuming whatever the algorithm feeds them

Can’t find new content just sticking to subscriptions unfortunately

You can find new content by asking on lemmy about interesting channels.
pirat@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
But you can search for subjects of interest, or ask interesting friends for their recommendations.

And hiding the date the video is from, Youtube is getting worse.
