You can (almost) always tell you're not interested in those videos and it slowly stops suggesting them. You can also ask it to never recommend a certain channel

- TylerE 2y agoYou can’t, however stop it from suggestion huge blocks of shorts or crappy free to play games.
- dmd 2y agoYou somehow must be able to, as everyone I know has feeds full of that sort of thing, and I've never seen even one short or game on my youtube home page.
- immibis 2y agoNope. You specifically can't disable shorts, no matter how much you want to - so much that YouTube Revanced has this feature.
- zimpenfish 2y ago> You specifically can't disable shorts You can use the three dots to say "Not Interested" on the Shorts shelf but it only hides it for 30 days and then the insidious little worm comes right back.
- squigz 2y agoYes you can, with something like uBlock Origin, or even a simple stylesheet override.
- treve 2y agoI tried this for games and shorts, but something about their HTML changes enough that they keep reappearing. I absolutely despise shorts
- squigz 2y agoYeah they tweak the HTML enough that static stylesheet overrides can become outdated real quick. Very annoying. It's been a while since I looked, but there probably is some uBlock Origin filter list that'll handle this and will stay fairly up-to-date.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoIf you have to go outside of youtube you modify its behavior, that doesn't really qualify as "you can make it stop". That's like saying you can make someone stop shooting you by wearing a Kevlar vest.
- squigz 2y agoWhat a silly comparison.
- TylerE 2y agoSeems perfectly apt to me. Javascript/CSS are also no solution at all on mobile devices.
- squigz 2y agoOne is pixels on a screen and the other is bullets in your torso. Can you explain how that's apt? But yeah, I do apologize for trying to offer solutions, as they are not perfect. (Pretty sure uBlock works mobile too, but that's irrelevant)
- zimpenfish 2y agoSadly not available when using the Apple TV to watch YouTube. If there's a NextDNS / PiHole method that stops YouTube ads, I could probably implement that...
