        Is it? I don’t like shorts and I don’t like them cluttering up my feed. On desktop I can simply turn them off with an extension. On mobile, I’ll constantly get bombarded by content I don’t care for with no way to turn it off. So yeah, i hope not

      I have an extension that hides shorts from my feed. the other day I used my account on the ps4/TV and oh my… shorts everywhere.

      I need a way to block specific channels too (or mute them) without unsubscribing as there’s one in particular I want to remain subbed too (it’s a community thing) but over his bullshit 6 videos a day spam

    Firefox with ublock without any problems, and on my smart tv with smarttubenext I see them as well.

    Newpipe on android doesn’t seem to show them, but I haven’t really looked for it either, maybe I’m just missing a setting somewhere.

    Shorts are basically YouTube videos forced into a custom UI. There are still ways to force Shorts to load in the default UI.

      It’s the UI that makes it my heroin.
