A few days ago I definitely got into an A/B test where the search results were:

- 5 shorts one under another

- new section with one or two videos and one or two shorts

- new section with five or more shorts in a horizontal layout

- new section with videos of which 20-30% were shorts

It's insane

They're pushing Shorts so fucking hard it makes me sick.

Even worse is that we're banning TikTok because it's bad for the kids (short form algorithmic content), Snapchat (similar thing + strangers creeping) and Instagram Stories (algorithm again).

BUT there is NO WAY for a parent to allow their kid to use Youtube AND block Shorts. (yes there are browser plugins etc, but how do you enforce them on a child?)

And from what I've seen the AI slop on Shorts is so fucking bad that it seems we just collectively forgot about Elsagate...

They are banning TikTok because it is not an American company and because it is profitable. They do not give a flying fck about kids.
