YouTube Shorts - You’re mildly infuriating!
Ever since I was forced to update YouTube on my devices, I got really annoyed with YouTube Shorts. At first, they were easily turned off. Then the option to turn them off disappeared from Settings - General. So I installed apps that allowed to skip out on Shorts. Then just a few days ago I could no longer have Youtube Vanced installed.
I’ve since learned do deal with this annoyance, but do I really have to mark “Not Interested” from channels I don’t subscribe to or “Hide” from my subscribed channels? On my Linux- and Windows PC’s I have regular blockers. But I mainly watch content on devices hooked up as small entertainment screens in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. And those are iOS or Android.
All I want are steady streams of content from my favourite relaxing subjects and channels. Without shorts or AI-derived “Hey, this video from a channel featuring a redneck with 15 AR-15’s shooting coyotes in the desert might be your thing!” inserted into my playlists or streams. But the AI-derived autoplay content is beside the point.

Ya agreed, I wish YouTube would’ve just pushed it as another app instead of forcing it down the main YouTube users throats.
Like, I don’t even mind short tiktok like videos, but yeah I don’t go on youtube for that
There’s a firefox addon called ’ Hide Youtube-Shorts’ and now I just never see them.
I go to YouTube to watch 2 hour long documentaries on subjects I don’t even care about, twitch steam uploads or 30 minute videos from my dubbed channels.
I just watched a one hour video about a fridge, so I know what you mean lol
I’m not interested in that at all.
Gotta link?
Probably this video
Yeah, that’s the one!
