    It’s all over YouTube shorts from shitty third world content theft channels.

        They pop up regardless- the “algorithm”. I downvote and block the worst of them to try and reduce it, but Google still ends up pushing some in

          Oh, I don’t use the algorithm. I have watch history off and only watch from my subscriptions page, that plus uBlock, Sponsorblock + DeArrow and any number of shorts blocker extensions make YouTube much more tolerable imo, highly recommend. I also archive my Favourites playlist (over 6k vids at this point) with yt-dlp to avoid losing videos and use Piped and invidious to get around geoblocks.
