There’s a set of filters that hides them from your feed and from search results. If I remember tonight, I’ll share it when I’m back on my home computer.

I know that the re-vanced app on Android has a setting to remove them. Not sure about desktop.

I recently found Firefox has extensions for blocking them on your homepage works a treat with app an sponsor block.
Added them the last time my hide for 30 days expired and the option was gone.
Seriously why the fuck would I want to watch vertical videos on my desktop that if I wasn’t blocking them would be bookends by ads longer than the fucking video
