    I configured uBlock Origin to block shorts so I don’t accidentally watch that garbage. I consider it psychological self-defense.

      Same. I do not need this media Format on YT.

      For anybody wanting to block it via uBlock, here is the code from a previous comment:

        That’s a lot of rules. I just have those two:

        www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#thumbnail[href*="/shorts"]:upward(7)
        www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*="Shorts"]

          If it works for you, sure. In the link to the previous comment were also piped links as well as someone who told me, that my code came from the letsblock website. Definitely worth also to check out. Very sophisticated blocking sniplets there.

      I feel that way about “stories”. I block everyone’s stories on Facebook and Instagram and I will never use Snapchat because it was made by lowlifes for lowlifes.
