And, for some damn reason, FORCING you to see Shorts. I can't even tell it not to show Shorts on my home page without "Will re-enable in 30 days." Like NO I do

- RedlineTriad 3y agoThere is a very nice list of ublock origin filters[0] that removes all shorts from subscriptions, home page, and even the nav menu item for them. Direct links to shorts still work though, in case someone sends a link or something. Improved my YouTube experience a lot.

- chankstein38 3y agoThank you for this!
- rchaud 3y agoUI defaults are powerful. For 15 years, YT has been providing an old-school "TV-like" experience, with 16:9 video, 10 minute-plus "episodes". That model is dead, especially with how YT does ads, which annoy users. They want to move mobile users to the TikTok model ASAP, which allows them to throw in many more ads in a natural way compared to what they currently have.
