Comment on The best decision YouTube ever did.
SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 10 months agoShorts are nice when used properly. 60 second videos with no ads, subscription reminder or useless padding to reach 10 minutes? More, please! But channels which just upload excerpts of their recent videos as shorts just clutter my feed.

The player has 0 controls, only vertical videos and you can't even filter them out permanently either. It is also full of low effort garbage spam that muddies search results. There's literally multiple channels that upload the same 5 videos every hour or so, using search terms / tags for other viral topics that have nothing to do with them. It's a fucking disaster.

Use Youtube Enhancer, it’s an extension that lets you permanently hide any existence of shorts.

I know. It just pisses me off that they keep forcing shit down the users throat constantly. It's like the exact opposite of what I want from a video on demand platform. They constantly add bullshit like this, or remove actual features that helped make things the way I want them to. All because the glorious algorithm knows better than me.

Not on TV. Who the duck wants to watch vertical 60second videos on a 16:9 TV?
