I will always blame the teacher when the students aren't engaged.

HOWEVER. I managed to block shorts form content, yt-vanced on mobile, and some browser extensions on my laptop, and uninstalled yt entirely from my tv until I get the time to install vanced there as well.

noticed a sharp improvement in my mental health, no less mindless scrolling for hours, and my attention span improved. even if my attention span remained the same, I'm happy about the change.

that being said, there were some good short content creators I liked and are allowed in my subscriptions. just that 99.99% of all short form videos are utter garbage.
