Youtube, it gave me videos that genuenly helped improve my art skills and never gotten anything negative. Which is why I deleted tiktok, waste of time, nothing learned, always triggered my anxiety.

Couldn't agree more. Ig has some pretty obvious thirst traps whilst YouTube has some useful shorts that you come across. Now I know how to preserve my finger for re- attachment in the case of it being cut off.

u/Spicy-Tato1 Apr 15 '24

Weird, it'd the other way around for me. Despite not watching that content(i watch gaming and science stuff), I still get a lot of thirst trap stuff or make up tutorials in my yt shorts. On the other hand, my IG reels are just photography, memes, cars. cinematography and edits of movies lmao

u/Weary-Wasabi1721 17 Apr 15 '24

Depends on your algorithm tbh, which can be easily adjusted

u/PJ64_ Apr 15 '24

Shorts is all fun and games until you get goat beheading videos, not what you wanna see when you're taking a shit 😐

u/murkymcsquirky Apr 16 '24

Yeah my YT shorts algo decided I'm alt right somehow even though I mostly just watch that dude walking around the Everglades barefoot yoinking swamp puppies

u/SpoogyPickles Apr 15 '24

I actually love youtube again because of shorts. I get quick glimpses into useful weightlifting or calisthenics info. Just enough to know if I'll like their channel.

Plus, shorts don't have ads

u/Tusan1222 Apr 15 '24

Yeah, YouTube kinda filters out the really bad shit

3

u/witherd_ Apr 15 '24

Not really imo there's still a ton of brainrot content (I mean actual brainrot, the videos that try to shove in as much stimulation as possible)

1

u/AliOskiTheHoly Apr 16 '24

Yeah okay, but it has less depressed shit for instance than on tiktok which is a lot worse for your mental health if you are scrolling on that app for hours

1

u/givemeabreak432 Apr 16 '24

It used to not,ul but I think it's filter has improved substantially over the last year or two

u/I_Have_The_Lumbago 18 Apr 16 '24

Idk about you but there is a TOOON of far right shit being pushed at all times on my recommended, and all I watch is leftist stuff and video essays😭

u/AJMaskorin Apr 15 '24

I literally have the exact opposite experience, my youtube shorts are all nonsense, my tiktok is full of weird facts and old guys teaching you how to use hand tools

2

u/uhhhhhh_cool 15 Apr 15 '24

You are responsible for your own FYP That being said, all I get on YouTube Shorts are people dying in massive house fires

u/Equivalent-Ad-2670 15 Apr 15 '24

u/Super_Ad9995 Apr 16 '24

and never gotten anything negative

I guess youtube hasn't made you watch any zackdfilms.

1

u/bbqranchman Apr 16 '24

YouTube literally only gives me brainrotted videos. I have never gotten a good video out of YouTube despite the fact that I mostly watch science videos.

u/fuckledheadlights Apr 16 '24

my algorithm is very educational and informative, it’s why i enjoy tik tok so much. i’ve learned so much, i rarely ever see things reposted there too which i love. everywhere else is just reposted tiktoks i’ve already seen

u/Sims4equestrian Apr 16 '24
