  Wish I could say the same.

  I’m also using firefox + ublock, but Ive noticed when I’m watching shorts, I’ll occasionally get an ad that’s disguised as a short. There’s no like/dislike buttons or anything.

    Just block shorts alltogether, it’s a win win.

      How do you block shorts entirely? I used to be able to x them away in YouTube Desktop for 30 days but I can’t find that option anymore. And can they be blocked in ReVanced as well?

        I found some website that had a line of code that could be added to my adblocker to completely remove them.

        Haven’t seen them since.

        I think it was this: letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts

    That’s normal. Even to premium subs youtube pushes adds which try and promote engagement. Its fucking awful.
