Comment on An Avalanche of Generative AI Videos Is Coming to YouTube Shorts
lost_faith@lemmy.ca 7 hours agoublock 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

Yeah, that’s way smarter than my suggestion. Glad I could help.
