I've been very happy with YT premium until recently I've found myself misclicking and being trapped in the Shorts, swiping left does not always guarantee exiting from shorts, sometimes it doesn't work.
I've seen enough dark arts and its patterns. This time I find myself shortlisting the creators I watch frequently and find other places I can subscribe to, like CuriousityStream, Nebula, Patron(1$/mo), or even Spotify.
After all I only have two reasons to subscribe to YT Premium:
- remove the increasing seconds unskippable ads that r*ping my attention
- support the creators
Certainly I can enjoy the same content elsewhere without shorts .
