People say this often, but the youtube app automatically opens on the shorts tab only if you had closed it while watching shorts before, if you were not watching anything or if you were watching normal videos before, youtube will just open to your normal recommended page
Yeah, I hate them too. But I guess YouTube is trying to compete with TikTok. >

Just like how they all have stories from SnapChat now. >

People still use snapchat? >

I don't know, but they did stories first and look what everyone else did xD >

I agree with the toggle. I don't care if the shorts are apparently relevant to me... I don't care about some random little girl's trip to Disney, or a 30 second clip of a song. If I want to watch music videos, I want to watch the whole thing, not some random person's favourite part. If I want to watch a video about anything else, I want to watch something that is at least 10 minutes long. >

Most of mine are videos about guns. I'm british, I have no interaction with guns, yet the shorts are mostly gun related >

I saw a video the other day about how YouTube directs people to extreme right wing content. It was pretty interesting and your experience reinforces that. >

Guns are far from extreme right. >

Maybe in Britian it is considered extreme right? >

YouTube should also pin original videos to the top, instead of having us scroll through endless amounts of reaction videos. >

Can stand them. Shitty wannabe tik tok crap. >

Real reason why Facebook and Google are trying to get TikTok banned. >

Who thinks YouTube Shorts are even good though? Like, how is this an unpopular opinion? I have never seen or heard anything positive about them. >

Maybe you paused your YT history? I turned it on and got better contents >

I turned it off and got better content >

It's just the cancer that is TikTok spreading to other platforms.  Look at how much Facebook/Insta is trying to get in on the narcissistic portrait mode video trend. >

I absolutely agree >

Oh my goodness I totally agree please let’s get rid of them I hate that everything is turning into TikTok AND I hate that when you open the YouTube app it immediately opens to the shorts and they’re so addicting I literally hate it.
