I never really watched the shorts on YouTube as theyre not what I went there for and just constantly hit ‘stop showing me thsse’ in my recommendations. They still recommend them but it seems less so sometimes.

It sucks because all the other recommendations are usually pretty good. I blame the outrage over tiktok by the USA for google adding that shorts crap to YouTube. They thought they could seize a market of short attention span people(they were right) but just took the worst aspects of tiktok and added it to their platform.

I donr have energy for that and mostly rather click on a interesting title because of ADHD and repeating thoughts about that title till watched. I am someone who changes everything to my liking and when I see myself forcing to press 2 stupid buttons to not be distracted everytime, then I see myself changing this behaviour or stop using the service if not possible. So in other words. I press 100 buttons to never press a button again.

Reasons why I use Arch Linux with KDE instead of Windows where you cant change 90% of things, and if you do, you can only do by external Programs that will break after a Windows update.
