    I avoided shorts on YT religiously, but as people sent them to me and they became more tuned to my preferences, I began absent mindedly scrolling them. I fucking hated it, I would realize I had wasted so much time idly swiping. I started running revanced specifically to turn that shit off on my phone so that the temptation wouldn’t exist. So happy with my decision. I don’t think it rotted my brain, but it made my phone a landmine for shit content, scammy ads, and wasted time.
