I only have Lemmy and Youtube. I'm actually trying to get off Youtube, those shorts are rotting my brain. I tried deleting the app but my Pixel won't let me.

Lemmy, YouTube, and a podcast app for me.

There's still great content on YouTube, but I also understand if people boycott the site for moral/personal reasons.

YouTube shorts I could understand. But I love using it for channels that have quality 5 to 10 minute content and I don't feel like it's as much a waste of my time as shorts. Legal Eagle, Hot Ones, Tom Scott, Some More News, You Suck At Cooking, Let's Game it Out. There are some gems out there.

5 to 10 minutes is a bit too short for comfort tbh. If the content is good, the joy is slightly poisoned by the fact that there was so little of it. IMO the comfortable video length is 30 to 50 minutes, which is a far more enjoyable experience (with 1-2 hours if it's a podcast).

I still like Youtube, I watch it on my TV all the time. It's only a problem on my phone because I would turn my phone screen on, go to Youtube Shorts without even thinking, and end up wasting 30+ minutes at a time. I hate how effective short form videos are on me, It's just so easy to keep going. On my TV, I only watch normal length videos that I search for, I don't mind those.
