    Can we also turn off community posts? Why am I seeing them from random people I don’t give a shit about. I don’t even want to see them from the people I do care about.

    I see a trend of corporations at least trying to deshittify their products a little.

    But I have a theory, that there will be a separate app for Shorts, and nobody will use it, unless it will be pre-installed.

    Man, I love shorts. My shit is curated af though. My algorithm is good to me. Mainly science facts, wood working, badminton, web dev tips, comedy, and Rocket League clips. Just what I like.

      I love shorts.

      They’re comfy and easy to wear.

      Do you like and comment on them? I tend not to engage aside from scrolling and it makes me wonder if interacting more would make it better

        Yes, I like stuff I want to see more of, dislike stuff I’m not interested in, and I also click “Do not show more from this account” (or whatever the option is) for stuff that I really don’t want more of, like brain rot and braindead politicians and maga personalities and the like.

        Do this enough and your algorithm should improve, too. Best of luck!

          I love blocking annoying accounts. Not interested in low quality creators that put out 3-4 long form content videos every week and 3 daily shorts.

    So many of the shorts I’ve seen are repackaged Tik Tok that it makes sense for YT not to encourage publishing on a competitor first.

    I don’t see it so it may be slowly rolling out?
