Just FYI not sure about the creator but other creators are saying some similar things across the board.

For a while I stayed watching a lot of shorts even though I don't like them much. It's just so easy to get sucked in... But some weeks ago I found NouTube which is basically a Web version that blocks ads and sorts. It's like the good old days. YouTube suddenly feels so interesting again. Shorts have cannibalized long format videos.

Give FreeTube a try.
