Youtube search page has so many shorts before the actual videos... - programming.dev

I’m sorry guys, I actually watch the YouTube Shirts so Google pushing them into more people is my fault. I just don’t care to download Tik Tok and have yet another app. 😭
I just don’t get the point. Why not watch full length videos where you can have context and actually learn something? Shorts can’t really provide context so are just funny moments or something that aren’t really that interesting, just a waste of time.
Listen, I'm a busy guy with a life. I don't have 20 minutes to dedicate to a video. I'd rather watch a few shorts... a quick 5 10 30 45 minute session is all I'm after...
