Maybe the ads would help you getting rid of the addiction.

Unfortunately works on me. I don’t know how to quit 😅 at least I only watch long form, and with an adblocker, so they’re probably losing money on me. But I just cannot stop, and it’s a bit of a problem…

Do they generate more money when we watch YouTube shorts?

My instinct would be to say, yeah, almost certainly. Not necessarily from any ads in the shorts themselves, but I’m guessing you can extract a lot more from a user who constantly engages in frenzied bursts of dopamine chasing, than one who consumes slower, longer, less frequent content. Even if the longer content technically has more ads.

Idk if they generate any money from users with adblockers like me.
