Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...

I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

Tiktok users are actively seeking that type of content, where with YouTube shorts they are trying to push the stuff on people that aren't interested in it (if they were, they'd be on tiktok). That's my take on what they're saying. Seems a reasonable take.

If you think that is the sinister aspect of TikTok you're kind of missing the point

I mean... At least the people using TikTok WANT to see that type of content. At least they know their audience and aren't trying to push their garbage on me.

I wouldn't try to argue that TikTok is not a shitty company (they are!), but personally most of their bullshit doesn't affect me since they are an uninstalled app. YouTube trying to push this shitty format on me on the other hand is aggravating.
