There are millions of youtube videos uploaded every single day. Why do I always get the exact same stuff in my recommendations? And why does YouTube shorts keep playing the same clips over and over again? Even the ones I disliked.
Oh man I needed this! Not the stupid extensions that play it in a normal YouTube window or something. I just wanna remove that crappy short form video stuff altogether.
You should never dislike on YouTube. They just view it as engagement and will give it you more. To actually get rid of content that you don’t like, you need to use “not interested” in the context menu.

uBlock - copy the template in the link below, add it to “My Filters” to completely remove Shorts from YouTube:

OMG thank you. I fucking hate shorts.

The UI for shorts is terrible. You can’t double click to fast forward, as that likes the video. Why are they inconsistent with their own player?
That site is amazing! Thank you!

This drove me crazy for a long time.
Good to know. I need to see of there’s a way to do it on youtube shorts.

Because those videos give Google the best ad revenue. Who cares what the users watch all long as Google gets rich along the way.
