Wait, TikTok doesn't allow you to change the volume? That sure would explain the increase in blaring phones since they became popular with the idiocracy.
Thanks to others who pointed out that uBlock origin can permanently disable (as opposed to being annoyed every 30 days) shorts on YT, instant quality of life improvement.
Regular YouTube videos on mobile also don't allow you to change the volume separate to the phone's 'master volume'. I don't think this is a TikTok/YouTube specific thing - you just don't see separate volume sliders on mobile like you would on a video playing on desktop.
I was referring to desktop. Youtube shorts does not allow you to change the volume of the video on desktop, forcing you to open the volume dialog box and either turn down your whole computer or every window in your browser.

Oh, not at all. It's just that there's no in-app volume control, so they depend entirely on the phone's media volume. This is common in most mobile applications, I'd say. So all those people glued to their blaring phones are morons, to put it plainly.
Except I watch most yt on my roku or google tv chromecast.
No fix for those unless it can be done in my opnsense router, but then that would break everything in the house when I am the only one who really hates shorts.
And to think I pay for yt. And let's not even get started about the blank home screen for the crime of turning off history.
