    The worst is people verbally explaining what you’re seeing like a fucking documentary. It’s extra bad because they stole the video they’re narrating.

    Even better is a split screen video where the bottom half is someone playing Minecraft or some really simple platform game because people don’t have the attention span to learn some dumb fact without also watching some game on half of their screen.

    I really hate this version of the internet.

      I’ve never seen those in any of my feeds, thankfully. Probably because I tend to watch longer videos and…“original” videos (no overlayed people or other stuff)

        Same, but once in a while I start watching a short from one of my subscriptions and then start scrolling. I guess because I watch some gaming content, YouTube thinks I want to watch that drivel.

          I watch a lot of gaming content, but it’s mostly video essay or review style stuff. Maybe that’s what keeps my feed clean.

          On YouTube, I don’t watch shorts at all though. And I’m vicious about telling it “Not Interested” when there’s something I don’t want in my feed.

            It’s not my feed that has crap. Try swiping up on 100 shorts some night when you can’t sleep and see what you see.
