Fuck every company that does this. I don’t like YouTube shorts. Can I disable YouTube shorts? No. Instead I can choose to “Show less often” which means absolutely nothing since they reappear in no time. Dark patterns are called that for a reason.
I also love how whenever I do a search on Google on my phone I get reminded to use the Google app, or to download chrome, or some other “use our platform please” nag message that only goes away for 24 hours when I tell it to fuck off.
for some reason, the day i choose to download revanced is always the day google updates their security and now i have to wait a month for it to work again. i’m not gonna do that to people again.

If you run Android you can block shorts (and ads, and sponsors, and everything else annoying from YouTube)
Check out revanced.app

Yeah, it feels like you’re just a monkey in a science experiment
Well… is that so far off?

You can install an extension that hides the shorts
