Every once in a while I click on one because it's not just a small tidbit from a longer video, and every time I get annoyed the feature exists and don't want to see another one for a long time.
I don't understand Shorts. My primary use case for YouTube is putting some 20-30 min video on the TV while I eat. I barely watch YouTube in any other context.
I may be unusual but there's an entire subreddit for "mealtime videos" so this use case must be common.

Unless you fall into the bottomless rabbit hole that is Shorts. That's waaaaay more addictive than your regular long form YT content.
Fun fact: disabling watch history also disables Shorts.
I find shorts actively annoying.

I have YouTube watch history disabled and when I search for something I usually get a few "lines" of search results filled with "Shorts".
Yeah but the endless customized one-more-time mechanism won't work anymore, which is the addictive part.
