I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now
Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays
Lately I’ve been more conscious of my decisions to watch trash on you tube. You watch a few traffic cam videos and pretty soon that’s half your feed. So I’m finding myself thinking twice before clicking.
Shorts I mostly avoid because I feel that feature is toxic clickbait.
I had to get YouTube revanced to disable the shorts player for me, and then had to disable notifications. It’s a place of no return.
