As right as they are, I still can't help but think "To be fair Youtube was ruined when you let Viacom write the playbook for it."
Not much left to ruin...
I enjoy YouTube Shorts a great deal. It could definitely be easier to curate your feed than it is, but I have a great deal of intractable pain at all times, and I like the fluffy format. It's easy to digest and understand and move on to the next one when my attention span is completely destroyed by the constant intense pain. Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me through the day.
As a fellow chronic pain sufferer, I sympathize. But the answer is not to make YouTube more like TikTok, it's for people like you to go to TikTok, which is already set up for viewing like that. The world is not built to cater to people like you and me. We're a minority and we need special care and we can't expect everyone else to accommodate that.
