I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

    No, shorts are shit and I’m absolutely not sucked in. They try to emulate tik tok so I would say this format simply works for you.

      I have a seething hatred for shorts. I refuse to watch anything designed like them on any platform.

      It does unfortunately. I don’t like it but it absolutely hacks my brain

      Would love if there was just an option to disable shorts in the app because I still want to use original youtube
