Add an option to disable shorts on YouTube and other endless scroll systems.
Add an option to disable shorts on YouTube and other endless scroll systems.
The Issue
TikTok and the system of scroll for endless entertainment is destroying peoples attention spans and minds, it is overstimulating people. Overstimulation is a type of sensory processing difficulty, it occurs when your senses relay more stimuli to the brain than it can handle. Rather than taking one thing in at a time, your brain can't prioritize. Some people refer to this as getting “stuck." People with ADHD are especially susceptible to this, you would think the obvious solution would be to delete these apps or simply not watch them but we all know it is not as easy as that. Many people including myself are dependent on YouTube and do enjoy using it, but it's really hard to use it without getting caught on those shorts. If you agree and relate with this, sign this petition and hopefully we can see some change.
