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 just used block element in ublock origin. Haven’t seen em since
Thanks! This seems to work.
Use this on Android: http://newpipe.net/ Or this on Android or desktop: https://grayjay.app/desktop/
I use the “Hide Shorts for YouTube” plugin on Firefox
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.
WTF kill this with fire.
Nuke it to be sure!
Omg i just checked out Veo 3, and videos can never be believed again. I mean it couldn’t in the past either, but at least you had to have technical video editing skills or the money to pay someone who does. But now any schlub can just type a dumb text prompt and the machine will generate an extremely realistic looking video of exactly what you wrote. Insane. Absolutely insane.
How are we this far in the future right now?!
This should help - all done on Veo 3 and it’s not as great as it’s cracked up to be.
Don’t worry. The energy usage from this will significantly help warm the planet, so it will all soon be over.

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
