YouTube is always there with something to fit your mood!
Kinda, because I have no choice. App gets the job done

As a YouTube premium user I should have the option to turn off being forced shorts upon app launch. I tapped the app that was not previously open, and it shows me this short about a child predator being caught as I’m TRYING TO PUT ON JAZZ BEFORE BED. that’s the opposite of jazz man. Ruined my vibe and now I’m writing this. You guys auc
this is the best media app I’ve ever seen man
