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.

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.

That's definitely not a you problem. I've been stuck watching the most pointless shorts on Snapchat with oddly satisfying videos.
