God I hate shorts. Luckily you can disable them. But youtube is so riddled with ads in general, it makes watching without adblock impossible. If they’d go back to one 3 second ad at the very beginning, I might even tolerate it. But the current shitshow? Not on my system.
Doesn’t help that they have a whooping 113 trackers running simultaneously.
None of those apps are the original and official app. Which is pretty obviously what this was about. I used to use Vanced and it never worked as easily as everyone seems to imply, and I never could get it to cast. Vanced is no longer available on the PlayStore btw, and the same can be expected for every app that tries to offer YouTube content, modified.

Wait how do you disable shorts this is the first I’m hearing of this
Modded apps and extensions. Revanced, Smarttubenext, shortsblock, etc.
with uBlock Origin, right click on the shorts area > click on ublock’s “Block element” > select the Shorts section > Block
Blocking with uBlock really isn’t the same as disabling. Disabling implies you’re using the app and it’s a setting.
You can disable them in Vanced and Revanced. NewPipe either disables them by default or doesn’t even support them, which is fine with me.

Right, well, it seems like you don’t want solutions and would rather just whine about something.

I target the Shorts container row element with uBlock, so it’s removed permanently from the grid.
Details please!
For those wondering, I use the filters listed on this site to block shorts with Ublock Origin.
