Shorts fucking suck. It keeps recommending to me exactly four types of videos:
stuff I have already watched, liked and commented – sometimes a few minutes prior
videos I’m wildly uninterested with and systematically mark as irrelevant or instantly skip, yet it keeps bringing up videos of the same subject
very old old “news” shorts
stuff of people I’m subscribed to – which is fine, just not what makes great algorithms
Meanwhile, in a very short time, tiktok has managed to make me discover communities I had no idea I’d like to watch content from, while subtly managing to stop showing me some of the content from those communities I don’t enjoy
Good fucking riddance.
Good riddance? Not really cause US still has clones of tiktok present like reels and shorts.
Nothing will change. In fact, due to lack of competition, things will only get worse.
US and India are 2 removed countries.
