Man, I love shorts. My shit is curated af though. My algorithm is good to me. Mainly science facts, wood working, badminton, web dev tips, comedy, and Rocket League clips. Just what I like.

    I love shorts.

    They're comfy and easy to wear.

    Do you like and comment on them? I tend not to engage aside from scrolling and it makes me wonder if interacting more would make it better

    Yes, I like stuff I want to see more of, dislike stuff I'm not interested in, and I also click "Do not show more from this account" (or whatever the option is) for stuff that I really don't want more of, like brain rot and braindead politicians and maga personalities and the like.

    Do this enough and your algorithm should improve, too. Best of luck!

    Man, I love shorts.

    No, this is not true. An independent study originally paid for and later silenced by YouTube scientifically proved that absolutely no-one likes shorts.
