I like shorts. I say this again and again: Curate your shorts by liking and subscribing. Press "don't recommend this channel" for shit you don't want to see.

Hone your algorithm. ๐Ÿ‘

You don't home the algorithm. It hones you. Finds what you engage with the most and exploits you. Every short form video site does this. It makes it addictive to you so you stay on it and see more ads.

It doesn't care what you like. Only what keeps you on there. Even if it's things you hate. And your probably thinking "oh lll just say I don't like it". They don't care. Corporations don't care. They just want to maximize the profit from you.

  • I only see stuff I like on YouTube shorts these days, so honing the algorithm has worked for me, so that's incorrect. I've done it.
  • It doesn't "care" what I like, but I've told it what I like and it gives me stuff I like. Mission accomplished.
  • You don't get ads on YouTube shorts. Not on your TV, not in the app. At least I don't. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
