    It’s on purpose. The longer you scroll, the longer you’re on the platform. That’s higher engagement numbers and is used to expose you to/negotiate higher prices from advertisements.

      Ironically, I’d spend more time on YouTube if I could find something I’d actually enjoy watching. If I find myself scrolling on end without finding anything good, I turn off the TV and go do something else.
