  I set up a ublock rule to block shorts. Clutter and inane bullshit is all they are.

    ublock can do that? I only watch my friends shorts to help them with views and thumbs, will it block the shorts if I go to the channel and view there, or only on main page?

      It sure can. Click on uBlock’s icon and choose the little eyedropper icon to enter picker mode. Then click on the shorts. In that window that pops up go to the part that says cosmetic filters and click on the top one. I don’t remember exactly which one will remove the shorts but just scroll through those until the shorts are highlighted with a red box. Then click create. That should get rid of them. Until youtube changes the element, which they do. I’ve had to re-do it twice so far this year.

        Oh sweet, I’ll be looking at that tonight. Thanks. If it blocks on their page I’ll just disable, watch, reenable, but it sounds like this should only work on the main page. Thanks again

    It’s annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can’t just turn them off

    What would Mr Rogers think of your comment

      He’d dismiss the sarcasm and make it genuine, “Yes, Timmy, we really are very impressed. Good job, Billy!”

      At the risk of sounding like the kind of edgelord I was calling out initially: Who? No, seriously, that show was off the air before I was born. I only know what you’re talking about because of this cliche’d line, I’ve never seen the show or anything. Has there really not been anything in the 23 years since they bulldozed his neighborhood that is wholesome enough to guilt me with? Has society really stagnated that much?

        Correct answer was nothing, he’s dead.

      Enjoy your sense of smug superiority, I guess?
