I'm getting really irritated/frustrated with so many apps lately, just changing back settings that I specifically spent a good amount of precious time/spoons troubleshooting to figure out what to disable, when an app decides to hoodeink us with a new behaviour/asshole design UX update
And yes you guessed it the latest asshole app in question is YouTube - it has decided to open on autoplay shorts again despite me telling it not to.
Curses and fogs to the man who created this Inescapable Unmuted Short-form Video Content In Our Faces 24-7 Madness
TikTok is honestly a pox upon internetkind, if not mankind (seeing as we live in an increasingly digital world). At least Vine kept it in its pants for goodness sakes. Listem SFVC has a time and a place but TikTok has just taken short-form video content and SPRINTED with it, turning it into a virus, the pandemic of the internet if you will. Thrust upon many an unwilling participant. (If you have seen what they did to the Twitch mobile app you understand my despair - just for context: literally everyone hates it)
We deserve long-form content back so I can drink my coffee in peace without having to keep changing to a new short video all the while
I for one don't want more addictive algos. It was hard enough tryna get/stay on task as it is
