I go into the shorts and its usually fairly good. I get to watch some cooking videos, a couple shorts of Elden Ring, was introduced to DrawingsbyTrent (An autistic man who is insanely good at drawing quick animal sketches), and then YouTube has the bright idea to recommend me 3 separate types of videos which clouded up my timeline and I've been attempting to clean it up since. Square Dancing to Beyonces new song, some chick posing with the stems of roses, and some other song which is driving me nuts trying to eliminate it from my timeline.

If your into those kinds of things, more power to you. But my timeline was near perfect. A mixture of young couple channels who are actually funny, video game shorts, a ton of cooking/home renovation/tech channels, and a variety of podcast shorts.

I've spent the past 1/2 hr blocking square dancing videos.... I don't know why YouTube keeps recommending them to me, when they should know by now that I love home renovation, culinary and video games lol.

The blocking and don't recommend feature doesn't actually work, especially for shorts videos. This was proven.

Also lol I feel like I done seen this topic already

KyloTheDoge is probably my favorite channel for shorts, followed by that guy who does Morbid Facts shorts.

Love it, the guy who sharpens knives, and this candy shop that makes candy.

...I thought it was getting better.... It's gotten 10x worse. Now YT is recommending Bob Marleys grandson. And not even him on stage singing, fucking random videos with that song dubbed over it. And I mean random. One was a kid getting out of their van, another was about sex sheets? I mean Jesus Christ they need to get this shit fixed lol.

There are some days when YouTube shorts recommends the exact channels and videos I want to watch, from animal videos to standup to sketch comedy I enjoy.

But then there are weeks where they just want to recommend clickbait and trends and mildly attractive scantily clad thumbnails that they know I'm not gonna click but keep recommending anyway.

Probably only cause they mention things I follow like comics, I tend to get videos recommendations from right wing grifters.

I have a browser plugin specifically for hiding YouTube shorts because I can't stand how aggressively it's being pushed.

and now I'm getting recommended videos of influencers from Japan zooming in and out on food. Guess I'm done again for the night. Probably for the week until they get this sorted.

I think the topic the other day showed my preferences. A lot of parrot channels, venjent (d&b using everyday sounds), handful of comedy shorts. That car kid who keeps on abusing his mustang tansmission.

The ones I hate are the motorcycle speeding ones where they are running from cops or speeding on the dragon

I don't know why their algorithm is so trash. You enjoyed that series of like 5 shorts about similar subjects? Ok, we're done with that now. Here's some random 0 view shitpost instead.

There's less content than Tiktok but I don't have to worry about the content as much.
