I clicked the "show fewer shorts" button on youtube for a while--they'd come back every 2-3 weeks, but then I'd click it again. Then I tried a different tactic: as soon as I saw a short in my "recommendations" I closed youtube and didn't return for at least 24 hours. I only had to do that about three times and I haven't seen shorts in my recommendations for at least 6 months now.

OK Bob, we'll roll out this ridiculously silly "shorts" thing of yours, but only if we auto bail for users who stop engaging.

True or not, tis funny to me.
