YouTube brings daily time limit to Shorts to curb doomscrolling
YouTube has added a new Shorts feature allowing users to set a customisable daily time limit for Shorts viewing through the app’s settings. Once the users reach their limit, they will see a pop-up notifying them that scrolling on the Shorts feeds is paused. YouTube is adding this feature to help users manage the habit of 'doomscrolling', risking user burnout.
