YouTube started showing likes instead of views in my main feed today. Can’t say I like it.
But heaven forbid they allow people to mark stuff as the junk that it is. Fuckin worthless

They also started removing the shorts on the home page.
If I'm just waiting or passing a bit of time, I'll look on my homepage and every 4th video or so it's a box with 4 shorts in them, so I can pick the short. This doesn't play an ad though.
Youtube removes that for me now, and I have to go to the "shorts" section, and watch whatever short comes up on the next swipe. Then they can put ads between swipes.
What I hate is that I watch 0.3 seconds of a short and swipe because it's not the content I like, it's some trending shit. Youtube still then suggest me full videos from these people like it's content I would watch. I didnt "watch" the short, dont put it in my feed.
It might be time to find something else to kill time
