Be reasonable. All sites must have Stories, and they must have Short Vertical Videos. They must. Surely you can see the necessity of that.
Try ReVanced it doesn't have the shorts button, and you can remove shorts from your home feed.
Ya agreed, I wish YouTube would've just pushed it as another app instead of forcing it down the main YouTube users throats.
Like, I don't even mind short tiktok like videos, but yeah I don't go on youtube for that
There's a firefox addon called ' Hide Youtube-Shorts' and now I just never see them.
Hide Youtube-Shorts
Thank you for this! I can't stand the shorts in my subscription feed.
I go to YouTube to watch 2 hour long documentaries on subjects I don't even care about, twitch steam uploads or 30 minute videos from my dubbed channels.
I just watched a one hour video about a fridge, so I know what you mean lol
I'm fine with short videos, but why do they all need that terrible ui with no seek bar and fewer features than proper videos? I really hate how they don't have the previously watched ui on them. It makes keeping up with a creator impossible.
The most annoying thing about Shorts is that they appear right along the regular videos in /subscriptions
I hate shorts so much that I don't even have YouTube installed on my phone. I use libretube and newpipe on my phone. The crazy thing is YouTube of pushing shorts on desktop as well.
youtube revanced allows you to disable it, i strongly recommend patching the app yourself
if you are interested here is the github link
I can second this enthusiastically, especially since it also blocks ads and sponsored segments, customizes the UI, allows background playback, allows downloads, and more stuff too.
yup it blows my mind that this is a much better experience than youtube premium not to mention you get it for free

Pretty much sums up all forms of piracy these days, given how bad the official media landscape became.
or in some cases prices are simply outrageous, i can not afford to pay that much for a medical textbook i will just sail the high seas and repay my debt by saving lives
or in some cases prices are simply outrageous
Even if individual prices aren't: no person with somewhat normal amount of income can pay for everything they're interested in (unless the scope of interests is very narrow). Streaming services here, "Patreon exclusives" there. It adds up. I miss the time where all professional content was just on Netflix instead of spread over 30 services.
What about revanced ?
Revanced is the shit. Everyone should use Revanced.
Just use new pipe, The home page is just videos from your subscribed channels and there is no one click way to see an endless stream of shorts. You can still see them if you search them. Bonus: no ads.
Also, there is no algorithm-curated home feed on NewPipe. You'll just get a simple feed with the latest videos from the channels you are subscribed to, which is a big plus in my book.
Also infuriating: With how much YT is incentivizing creators to create shorts, a bunch of channels I follow no longer even make regular 10-15 minute content regularly.
And I no longer follow them.
I like some YT shorts once in a while to mix it up
I don't watch tiktok and I don't want youtube shorts either, they are all equally stupid.
I watch youtube on android phone with NewPipe. On desktop I use Firefox+uBlock Origin with this filter sets
I don't mind shorts but their recommendations are somehow even worse that regular yt recommendations. And those are already dogshit...
What pisses me off the most is channels I used to like, stuff like Scam Nation who now repackages all their old content as shorts. And so I unsubscribe because I don't want that level of spam.
Youtube Shorts sounds like an interesting idea, that has all the problems of Tiktok, and then clutters up Youtube. It would be SO easy for people to be able to opt out of Shorts, but that's not how it works, and Youtube's UI keeps pushing them to the point where I stop looking at my notifications.
Great work Google.
