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.
