YouTube Shorts get their own tab on desktop and tablet – IT Pro – News

Well that was to be expected. You see those shorts everywhere. It will be hip and profitable. People nowadays have the attention span of a goldfish and this doesn’t help. Even on the NOS you have short films these days. It hardly has anything to do with news anymore. Above all, it should be shocking and claim your attention as much as possible. Even at the NOS they have added autoplay. Hoppa, straight to the next video!

But it also has to be shorter and shorter, because otherwise half will already drop out. Simply because you then have the time to realize that what you see is not interesting at all. Especially if you look at sites like 9gag where you see videos in a kind of half GIF format and you are forced to see everything and then the clue turns out not to be interesting at all because it is yet another cry for attention. For me the reason not to come back.

Useless social media. I’m not starting it anymore. If Youtube starts to force it too much, I will stop. I don’t feel like looking at something forcibly because a company dictates it. All right, enough vinegar for today.
