The moment they fix the search, fix their recommendations, stop wasting money on junk projects like games and allow me to completely disable Shorts, I will resubscribe to YT Premium.
Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?
For the same reason Vines did.
I would argue it's more about consumerism and fin tech business ideas now, tik Tok nowadays has a bunch of shops, it's kind of the end stage of this sadly
It still blows my mind that Vine failed to monetize themselves properly. Like, how did they fuck that up.
