Two clicks.

You>History and it has the most recent 5 already up.

This format took root maybe 10 years ago.

not on the Android app... it's only been a few months. used to be right under whatever the rightmost tab was. and iirc if you were on that tab most recently, it just opened straight to it. zero clicks.

maybe you just don't have the newest version? or maybe when you click 'You' it goes straight to the Library tab because you don't have CONTENT?

I guess that's why. it always takes me to my SHORTS first so I have to click into Library to see the History section with the carousel. then click again if I want to see more than the last ten or whatever.

why do you think they're doing this? they'd rather you watch new stuff than rewatch stuff you like so that they can push out what they want you to see? I mean it's the same amount of time on the app either way, right? or I guess that's what they want to find out. seems like they're pushing SHORTS harder every update. I guess a lot of people end up scrolling indefinitely. fortunately I don't like most short-form content. but also unfortunately, because they keep trying to force it on me.

I definitely get random SHORTS pop up when I open the app even if I didn't click on them. I think they are trying to compete heavily with TikTok. They're definitely prioritizing SHORTS over longer videos.

I also know that Spotify intentionally made it harder to click on your own playlists on Desktop. This was because everyone was ignoring new music. Spotify is partially owned by all the major labels so they put pressure on Daniel Ek to make it harder to listen to old music.

They really want people to listen to new shit so they can recoup their investments and take that new revenue and invest in royalties from older catalogs. The new artists are a pump and dump scheme to turn over quick cash so they can bid up and trade around the Fleetwood Mac catalog. It is widely believed that older songs have more long term investment value than e.g. Post Malone.

it's simple: there's more money in shorts. A 10 minute video might have 2-3 ads. A one-minute short will have a single ad.

I use YT too much not to have Premium; ads would drive me insane, plus I use PiP all the time, play stuff in the background, lock my screen, etc.
