How is my PC not good enough to handle YouTube shorts?
Or Facebook videos for that matter, but normal YT videos are ok. YT Shorts are horrendous for this. I've clicked on one right now to view it but it's a bit jittery.

But every now and then, I am invited to pay with "SHOP", which I understand to…
