YouTube is testing a new ‘Play Something’ floating action button (FAB) on Android. What are your thoughts on this feature?
That’s exactly what I want out of my YouTube experience, less control. I must mindlessly consume. Please, give me more brainrot shortform content.

Welcome to late-stage capitalism. The end goal for all citizens is to be mindless, brainless consuming slaves.
They need a better algorithm, not this trash. YouTube is FULL of content, but they don’t get that if I watch a couple of videos on one topic, it doesn’t mean I want my feed flooded with it forever. They should let us refresh suggestions.

That’s why I always use incognito when watching anything outside my main interests. Otherwise, my feed gets ruined for weeks.

I never watched shorts, disabled them on ReVanced, but enabled it to try. It’s so bad. If I like one video, it keeps feeding me from the same channel until I’ve seen all of it.
The worst part is, there’s no good alternative to YouTube.
Thank God for ReVanced!
I’ve had this ‘Play Something’ button for a while now, and I HATE it! Even as a paying subscriber, I can’t remove it. YouTube doesn’t seem to care about external feedback.

They do care about feedback—just the feedback from shareholders expecting profit.
So… when are they fixing the back button? It should take me to the last video I watched, not the homescreen. And while they’re at it, remove the built-in games no one asked for.
Good thing I switched completely to NewPipe.

Wait, does NewPipe block ads without a subscription?
Disgusting. Hopefully Russ doesn’t bring this feature to iOS anytime soon.
Not gonna lie, I actually liked the tower defense game YouTube added. It got me into other TD games like Kingdom Rush on Android and Thronefall on Steam.
