The fact that I couldn't turn off shorts recommendations on youtube is just so, so annoying. It's such a time sink and I'm glad that the tides are finally shifting against addictive algorithms like these.
- nojvek 7mo agoYeah not having a switch to turn off shirts is a great indicator that Google’s “do no evil” is a relic of the past. Google gives no fucks other than printing more billions every quarter.
- ktimespi 7mo agoIt's a major disservice to me as a paying user too.
- zparky 7mo agoif you're on android, advanced is a blessing to de-shorts your YouTube.
- thunderbong 7mo agoDid you mean revanced?
- nunez 7mo agoUninstall the app and use it in a browser that lets you disable them. It’s the only way.
- cyberclimb 7mo agoI use this extension on desktop and Firefox mobile to block shorts. They also support chrome (idk about chrome mobile). https://github.com/Vulpelo/hide-youtube-shorts?tab=readme-ov-file#installation https://github.com/Vulpelo/hide-youtube-shorts?tab=readme-ov... You can also look at NewPipe on Android if you want an alternative YouTube app rather than web mode. Needless to say it's a real shame you have to work this hard to hide shorts...
