I wish they would just get rid of shorts all together. Vertical video shouldn’t exist.
I’ve been using this:
https://github.com/Vulpelo/hide-youtube-shorts
since YT started the “shorts” bullshit. Highly recommended if you are civilized person who is not OK with vertical videos.
FreeTube also hides shorts behind another tab by default!
Thanks for the link. I just stared it for future use!
Tom Cardy is the only exception.
Can I set the timer to 0 seconds?
Right? I love that I, a signed in user, can hide them…. For 30 days…. Go away!!!
Oh, ffs, make up your damn mind.
Nobody really wanted them, but now that people are using it, you want to limit it? The entire executive roster for alphabet needs to take a submarine ride
They probably figured that shorts don’t generate as much as a video with an ad break every 2 minutes.
But they don’t let you to entirely block them either but only to hide them for 30 days at a time.
I just used an extension to block them. They kept trying to feed me right-wing bullshit. Easy fix
I migrated away from the mobile app to PipePipe just to avoid shorts and I pay for premium.
