: YouTube and other online platforms being so absolutely, cravenly desperate for content and for users' time is what's driving me to spend less time online. Regular YT videos, plus Shorts, plus Games, plus PPV movies, and all and in such a glaringly desperate layout designed to split attention and run users down rabbit holes is a legit turn-off, just like Facebook. There's a difference between multitasking and being scatterbrained.
@thedisasterautist the only thing i ever go to youtube for is music... i guess i'm weird
@redenigma: I go to YouTube Music for that.

Same here. CoSo and IG. I haven't had cable in almost a decade. Substack and the headlines of news. Books. Tuning out for mental health at the moment.
