 YouTube needs to stop trying to make shorts a thing. They keep breaking inline videos on other social media because they can't leave the link format alone for short videos. I hate it. 

Stop trying to be tiktock. Stop thinking "being tiktock" mean forcing all the short videos to be in one place. God. I hate the things these companies waste effort on. 

It's hopeless! Give up!

(About to add like 3min of black to the end of my short videos so they show up correctly.)

It feels like no one in tech comprehends that people like their thing because it is the way it is. They can only see people using some other thing, and think "If we make our thing like that thing, we'll get *their* users." 
 @134318c2 The constant profit-seeking is like the monkey that tries to carry too many fruits. If they try to grab one too many, they lose all of them.

Can't get too greedy!
