Unless you fall into the bottomless rabbit hole that is Shorts. That's waaaaay more addictive than your regular long form YT content.

Fun fact: disabling watch history also disables Shorts.

I don't understand Shorts. My primary use case for YouTube is putting some 20-30 min video on the TV while I eat. I barely watch YouTube in any other context.

I may be unusual but there's an entire subreddit for "mealtime videos" so this use case must be common.
