I made the decision to block it a while ago so I don’t visit it. In fact, it’s blocked at the DNS level inside my house right or wrong. Wish I could laser in on YT Shorts / FB reels to cut/block them. I wish as a paying customer of YT I could disable shorts from my feed longer than 30 days.
I watch a TON of longer form YT, and while, of course, there is algorithm in play here, I have 100s of subscriptions and mostly watch those channels exclusively. I branch out when I’m just filling time mindlessly or the available content is watched with my wife and she’s not here etc…
I’m sure I blocked tiktok when it was only short form. I also did it so my son couldn’t get to it. Until he got an iPhone he was completely prevented from installing/visiting it. My wife now controls this parental bits (as a fellow drone… Err, iPhone user), and while the app is not allowed on his phone, I’m not sure if he can get to it via the browser.
