Yeah YouTube shorts is like smoking crack (I don't do Tik-Tok), when compared to your experience of Peertube, yours, metaphorically, seems more like teenagers trying to roll a joint of nutmeg,
They definitely are like crack for a lot of people, I use a youtube front end when I can, and when it's down a browser addon to remove them.
My daughter is 18 and just a couple months ago started doing the same, after realising shorts were almost an addiction.
Another friend has admitted she cannot stop watching them but so far hasn't done anything about it.
Oh yeah, I'm over thirty and have had and seen a few addictions.
I stayed away from the shorts and tiktoks for a long time, now I've been watching the shorts. It'll just suck hours.
Kinda like this
