Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats?

You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.
I’m one! Honestly don’t get the hate. There was a comment the other day that made me think the haters are phone users. Shorts work fine on a 47" TV, for me. Hate that you can’t turn the giant captions off on many videos, but the people I follow usually don’t do that.
For me, shorts are a thing I can scroll past once and be done. Is it painful on a phone for some reason?
I wouldn’t say I hate other people for watching them, but for me it’s a personal think in that I have ADHD and shorts hack my brain. I just avoid them. But each ti their own.

I don’t care if people like them. I DO care that seemingly YouTube has very clear data regarding me that I do not like them (I have dismissed them countless times) and chooses to ignore this and present them over and over again. It’s especially funny because in all other areas they brag about how much they personalize the experience for you.

YouTube doesn’t care if you don’t care. The more they show them to you the more likely they are to finally get you to watch them and they can make money off you. It’s not like there’s many alternatives to YouTube.
