  YouTube shorts are cancer already. I’ve had them blocked ever since they appeared.

    How do you block them? I keep pressing “show fewer shorts” but they keep popping up and I can’t find an option to block them entirely.

      I use a plugin on Firefox. I’m not in my desktop right now and I don’t remember the name but it was easy to find if you search “YouTube shorts”

      Ublock + ff. in ublock select the eye dropper, move the eye dropper over the shorts section until you see the videos and the word shorts highlighted then click to block

      In addition to what others have said, SmartTube has options to remove them on Android TV devices

    Never watched one, never will. Rarely watch YouTube either except the odd music video.

    I used to hate short form content in principle

    but YT shorts actually shows me content from creators I like. sometimes I like browsing it, because some of that content is well suited to the format rather than dragging it out into a five minute video

    what I fucking HATE is when YouTube opens up to the shorts page and just autoplays. it’s inconsistent and idk why it does that

    now, why the shorts format is here, and we can’t just mix the short videos with the long ones in the same library… idk

    Is that opinion because you’re on a phone? They’re OK by me on a PC and big TV. OTOH, if I’m not logged in, the pure shit they shovel at me, yikes.

      They’re designed to keep people with poor impulse control caught in a constant loop of short garbage clips. A bigger screen is not going to change that.

      Also I don’t normally watch YouTube on my phone unless I’m travelling and when I do I use NewPipe.

  I can’t wait until AI video is good enough that you can input a book and it outputs a movie which is as faithful as you like to the original, you can change how all the characters look, etc

      Many people can’t. It’s called aphantasia. I still don’t want AI-generated video anywhere near me.
