Comment on Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube

God I hate shorts. Luckily you can disable them. But youtube is so riddled with ads in general, it makes watching without adblock impossible. If they’d go back to one 3 second ad at the very beginning, I might even tolerate it. But the current shitshow? Not on my system.
Doesn’t help that they have a whooping 113 trackers running simultaneously.

Wait how do you disable shorts this is the first I’m hearing of this

with uBlock Origin, right click on the shorts area > click on ublock’s “Block element” > select the Shorts section > Block

Blocking with uBlock really isn’t the same as disabling. Disabling implies you’re using the app and it’s a setting.

You can disable them in Vanced and Revanced. NewPipe either disables them by default or doesn’t even support them, which is fine with me.

I target the Shorts container row element with uBlock, so it’s removed permanently from the grid.
