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.

I use this extension on desktop and Firefox mobile to block shorts. They also support chrome (idk about chrome mobile).

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...

Yeah 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.

It's a major disservice to me as a paying user too.

Uninstall the app and use it in a browser that lets you disable them. It’s the only way.

if you're on android, advanced is a blessing to de-shorts your YouTube.
