    I struggle with over consuming short vertical video.

    I shaped my phone’s environment to be a heathier environment for me, but it wasn’t simple.

    1. uninstall the YouTube app
    2. switch to Firefox on mobile
    3. install ublock origin
    4. add filters to block shorts from. YouTube
    5. add YouTube.com to my home screen to mimik the app.

      YouTube should allow us to do that with the click of a setting. Problem solved…

    Just allow us to block any and all short from every appearing…I refuse to watch them, I report them anytime they try to force them. Literally nothing else to perm remove them from ever being seen.

    Ive watched some shorts and they are so unbelievably bad. How cooked does your brain have to be to spend hours on those.
