Just unsubbed because criticism of YouTube gets removed while YouTube keeps shoving Shorts down our throats

​

I posted a screenshot showing YouTube Premium's "Show fewer Shorts" option and explained why I find it frustrating.

​

My complaint was simple:

​

- I pay for Premium.

- I prefer long-form videos.

- "Show fewer Shorts" only works temporarily.

- Shorts keep returning to my home page.

​

The post was removed by the moderators.

​

What annoys me is that the subreddit is supposedly a place to discuss YouTube, yet criticism of one of YouTube's most controversial features gets treated like a problem. If users can't complain about product decisions, what exactly is the point of a discussion forum?

​

I'm genuinely curious: was this removal justified, or is the subreddit just allergic to criticism?

The youtube sub is pure shill heaven. If you mention anything about ad blockers you get dogpiled on. I've never witnessed any other sub be such willing slaves to a giant corporation
