Shorts made it less addictive, they're awful to watch and I invariably stop at one.
Perhaps you are experiencing a spike in your own addictive behaviour?
same with me. they're awful and the content quality is depressing. but i think for many people shorts are the addiction
Oddly enough, there's specific content only available through shorts that I would love to see (Scott Manley in particular does fantastic shorts), however I never see them because the shorts player invariably kills any enjoyment I may have be having at the time.
No matter what content exists on shorts, I will go out of my way to disable shorts altogether. If I could block the URL I would.
