    Why? I like shorts, bite sized, shaped for mobile when I’m in bed or shitting, interesting content — my feed is very curated after many years of training it, so I only ever get interesting stuff, no brain rot 👍. Coincidentally my Watch Later list is getting out of control. 😓

      My biggest issue with shorts as someone whos watched them is they very often leave out a lot of context or very important information. Shorts are just an evolution of clickbait titles or inflammatory headlines in my opinion. Theres some that are really good but the primary nature of shorts means your exposed to all types not just good ones.

        I pretty much get only good quality content. I am very particular about my viewing history. A lot of shorts are probably click bait, but I’ve been very diligent with down voting, and pressing “don’t show this account again”, removing accidental garbage from my viewing history, stuff like that. I believe it has paid off in the end.

          I had accidentally fat fingered a downvote while laughing at myself. Fixed it so your ratio looks better now.
