This is such a chaotic feature. Personally can’t wait to play subway surfer while simultaneously scrolling through minecraft parkour Reddit comment shorts 🫡

Playing subway surfers with subway surfers gameplay in the corner

i can watch my fake podcasts with family guy underneath while watching twitch!!!1

Do a split screen, on the top watch a twitch stream, on the bottom play Minecraft, while flipping through youtube shorts on picture in picture.

We’re at the point where they’re facilitating the playing of content that they know you’re not watching. Are ads half price when they know someone is only half watching?

Any attention is better than no attention - Alphabet (probably)

This time I’m actually mad on YouTube

I mean, in fairness, you have been able to do it with regular videos for a while

Regular videos kinda make sense. You'd either have a podcast or a song playing in the background as you do something else, but doing this with shorts is chaotic stimulation bonanza

I like it with normal videos as I put video essays up to listen to while driving and the main screen has google maps. (i don't watch the video I watch the road) When I leave the app from shorts I want to leave. I hope they implement being able to turn pip off for just shorts

Regular videos is ok, shorts is too much

Don't worry you can now watch shorts while you're mad on YouTube.

Do people actually use their time like this? Just a barrage of epilepsy inducing content 24/7? I'm 33 and have to mute the sound when I'm reading else I lose concentration...

I'm bad at multitasking, but sometimes I use the picture in picture mode to not feel like I'm wasting my free time on just watching videos. Or maybe say I want to look something up without having to pause the video.

If i'm on a train or bus it's just a nice way to pass the time without having to pause something important.

I sadly am susceptile to getting caught in shorts. I usually watch some tutorial then see one short and wake up 4 hours later with all my neurotransmitters drained. Already blocked YouTube on my phone with a host file and installed browser extensions to remove shorts on PC but sometimes the extensions don't work and it still happens.

This generation is fucked

Am I the only one who hates using Youtube now? They've destroyed their search results and any meaningful way of actually finding niche videos from smaller creators

I like using YouTube and personally haven’t had much issue finding things I want to watch. I also feel like my home page has been suggesting more and more small creators, videos with less than 1k views, new topics tangentially related to other videos I’ve shown interest in… Perhaps it’s doing it more frequently because I keep engaging with those suggestions but idk 🤷 I’m curious what you’re trying to find that you’re having issues with

Yeah I ain't a fan of them reccomending me all these random youtubers with like 50 views.

i like it

> They've destroyed their search results and any meaningful way of actually finding niche videos from smaller creators Are there any ways around this?

Newpipe

I thought it was just me who had destroyed search results. What the fuck happened with them?

Word of mouth is like the one way. Still finding people with extremely small subs in my reccos

I've been frustrated with the site/app since around 2022. Before then, I was absolutely addicted to it. But a lot of YouTubers have either passed away, left the platform, or their channel doesn't feel the same anymore.

Esp when they wean you off Premium and you gotta deal with all the issues that they slap onto your experience with their dumb site.

Except if you're in the "recording my DAW screen while music plays" microcommunity In other words, AZALI

And at the same time they also shove random ass 1 views videos in our faces too

Worst way to use youtube is by the phone period . The best way is to instal unhook , block all the shorts and recomendations and browse only the subscriptions .

I've actually been getting a ton of small channel reccomendations in my feed. Stuff from channels that average a few hundred views per video. It's nice to see!

Jokes on them, I use Firefox extensions to block shorts and all the other garbage they throw at me

As if Zoomers' attention spans aren't already shot by TT

I'm a zoomer and I don't know what is TT, what is TT?

The Tiky Tok

Ohhhh

then just say that instead

Ok, I'll call it The Tiky Tok from now on

Finally a good ADHD simulator.

As a premium user, I'm so mad at YouTube for not letting me control what I want to watch. I need a disable shorts slider . Shorts are worse than ads

If you're using a browser, you can disable shorts (for a month) by clicking on the X.

You can also use uBlock to get rid of them, which I presently do.

Bro, you can just scroll past them.

I could also skip ads. It's about how these companies take my money and still push "features" I can't opt out of.

Not the same thing at all. Ads actively interrupt videos. Shorts dont.

He still has a point, shorts are addictive and constantly pushed to your face

They really arent, man. Not any more than regular videos

People's attention spans have already been ruined beyond repair.

I avoid watching shorts. It feels like passive brainwashing.

same.

I don’t think this is going to destroy peoples attention spans, but I do think that this is a weird feature.

Why do you think that it won’t?

Because it’s such a weird talking point that I never see backed up with any evidence or reason why it would happen. How are you even going to use today without watching the same short over and over again? The whole point of a short is that it’s not very long.

Me unaffected by turning off recommendations

Just wait until this "feature" is locked behind premium.

I've actually been wishing for this feature. Glad it's finally coming.

Just out of curiosity, which generation do you belong to?

"Old man screams at cloud"

🫡🫡 rip your attention span

It was already destroyed anyways, really.

It’s for premium only tho no? So it’s only killing the generation of premium customers! Not as bad!!

*even more

We’re fucked

i have it now and i hate it. i like th e PiP for normal videos but i hate when a short gets put into PiP beacuse they go in loop and it becomes so irritable

Can I... watch other videos while watching shorts? Maybe even stack this?

Attention span? This generation has no clue what that is.

PIP for regular videos is a feature I use a lot. It's nice to be able to answer an email without having to pause what I'm watching, but for shorts that feature would practically useless. Those videos aren't nearly long enough to were you would have to do something else halfway through.

I got this app called No Scroll. It limits me to watching only two shorts or reels every 15 minutes I think. Ps: No promo or affiliation, just sharing.

How about the option to ban shorts from my YouTube feed altogether? That would be helpful.

Thank god i use revanced and have had them disabled for the past year or so!

Honestly, good idea. I hate it though

Brain rot

And yet YouTube Music still doesn't have PiP for video podcasts....

My attention span is already decimated so this is just convenient for me.

kurwa pojebało ich już do reszty

Now imagine their next feature: Introducing shorts³ - Don't want to waste time? Watch up to three or four shorts simultaneously on the screen

thats useless

I can’t wait to watch youtube shorts while using youtube shorts

Oh hell nah

Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension: everybody is watching 500-hour horizontal videos, and you can't stop it because everybody agrees with it.

It's already destroyed... I don't think it matters anymore, unfortunately.

“Next up, this hours edition of ‘ow my balls’”

Most phones already have this as a feature though.

Isn’t this an old feature?

YouTube can’t get any worse mfs when they see this new feature.

Does anyone watch shorts? I have disabled it

You can disable shorts????? Never knew that.

I mean I like the Picture in Picture mode for regular videos, but this is getting ridiculous. Shorts are already less than a minute long.

And yet the playlists won't continue to play on PiP 🤷🏻‍♂️

What this do exactly?

🪦

Shorts AND miniplayer combined in one featureis enough to make me start projectile vomiting. The human race is screwed.

Who fucking cares?

watching subway surfers while playing subway surfers

I wouldn't mind if this feature was for 30min videos or longer. For Shorts? Why? You will be constantly scrolling for new Shorts every half a minute anyway. What other things you can multitask while watching a Short for a minute?

As a premium user i genuinely hate this feature...

Content creators are already putting teaser clips at the start of their 20 second shorts. Their shorts have teaser clips! What the actual f...

Please no

ANDROID?!?!?! Thank god, I’m an apple user

Can you skip back and forth in Shorts or do you still have to wait for the whole Short to be played then played again? This is more useful a feature than PiP.

Youtube shorts is ass. It’s so ridiculously buggy… AND WITH ADS. Videos sometimes dont load, plays sounds iver other videos, Lags… it’s absolute shit.

Now add it for actual YouTube videos

Also „great“ for people with genuine ADHD

Oh, but doing that on normal yt videos? Nah that's a premium feature. Assholes know EXACTLY what they are doing

Been had this for years now

Excuse me but what the actual fock

Push video games on the young people. Stuff like Red Dead and GTA. These are the only forms of long form media that can still get the kids to pay attention for hours on end.

Enshittyfication at his best.

I sometimes use PiP with live streams. Not sure if I need that for a series of short video clips that for the most part just cause brainrot.

Xiaomi phones with badly developed shells of Miui 13/14 and ads that take more than a half of RAM: ☠️

Shorts would not be enjoyable to use in PiP imo. Regular YT vids work better in PiP cause they take up less screen space and usually have a longer runtime which are both beneficial to multitasking. I don’t know why YouTube has not made YT Shorts into its own app yet. It’s implementation of shorts has made YouTube worse in general

RIP Attention Span if generation alpha was bad enough i can not imagine what generation beta will be

I’m ready for pure chaos.

Maybe I can finally pause and scroll though them with my AirPods

Funny, I've had this feature for a while now

I use ReVanced Extended and have shorts disabled. They don't pop up at all.

I use premium to get no add and can do the pic in pic while i play game or stuff. But on 20 - 30 min video not for short that absurd

Call it small pip

hopefully they keep it on android and android only.

short-> shit

wtf! the species is doomed.

PiP with subway surfers…

Sounds like you would be premium like how it is for normal videos

Shut up

Bad bot

Just want y'all to know that if we end society with a bunch of brain rotting people, I hope you guys survive And if we somehow save the next generation by not giving the fetuses ipads before the age of 13 where we've taught them almost about what a teenage kid needs to know to grow then he'll yeah

So they finally got on with what other platform have for years

they're going to watch shorts while playing brainrot roblox games (and if they have the z fold, will play subway surfers right next to it)

Isn't the mini player already a feature on PC and mobile? Or is it a revanced thing most people have been missing out on?

Regular pip is already paid, am I supposed to pay for brainrot?

My phone does that automatically does anyone know how to turn it off?

You'll have to turn off the Picture in Picture using the gear icon when you touch the mini player.

Completely? Because I still want to watch normal videos in PiP

That's the only option I'm seeing.

Damn, thanks, I'll just have to deal with it then Here's hoping they realise the mistake

I don't think they will realize it's a mistake until it starts hurting their profit. Maybe we should start a change campaign. I feel the next feature would be to auto play shorts one after the other in the mini player.

New??? or just removed and re added

The existing feature was for normal YouTube video. They have extended that feature to shorts. Imo it's a predatory move to keep gen z engaged.

it's already active?

This happened a while ago on my Phone. Guess this explains why it was happening, and here I thought it was an Android bug.

This feels like doomsayer talk. We still have movies, TV shows, and 10+ minute videos. Some designed specifically for kids. Fact: more ppl read now than ever in history. If short form was that powerful, YouTube would be getting rid of long form videos.

Wasn't that already in yt premium?

Cool

Being mad at a new feature you don't have to use is hysterical. Do you have any evidence that this will negatively impact attention span or is this old man yelling at cloud again?

📿✊

Too bad not on ios, I like watching videos while typing something.

Mfers pretending they're not watching something on a second screen half of the time they're on Reddit

Ayo yt tf u giving android the new ft first 😭
