The best is when it’s a video shot in landscape that has been letterboxed to fit a phone screen and then pillarboxed to fit a TV screen, so the net result is a video that could fill the whole screen being displayed inside a tiny rectangle in the middle.
Comment on TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out
brsrklf@jlai.lu 7 months agoFucking YouTube shorts.
Every content creator has to partake in the stupidity because it’s that or becoming an algorithm outcast, so they awkwardly cut bits of their videos just to post a couple of those.
And then YouTube forces them in everyone’s throat, with absolutely no regard for the medium and no option to filter them out.
No, YouTube, I won’t watch your stupidly formatted 10-second bits of nothing on my TV.

I’m so done with shorts I’ve added the whole shorts element to my adblocker… you can’t select the seeker bar in shorts, you can’t autoscroll lol literally a retarded copy of tiktok with zero user experience functionalities

You can select it on mobile but it’s super god damn glitchy and infuriating. I wouldn’t mind shorts when they’re helpful and jump straight to the point of how to fix/do something I’m looking up if it weren’t for the garbage seeker bar.
