    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.

        In addition to what others have said, SmartTube has options to remove them on Android TV devices

      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.
