Shorts are nice when used properly. 60 second videos with no ads, subscription reminder or useless padding to reach 10 minutes? More, please! But channels which just upload excerpts of their recent videos as shorts just clutter my feed.
The player has 0 controls, only vertical videos and you can't even filter them out permanently either. It is also full of low effort garbage spam that muddies search results. There's literally multiple channels that upload the same 5 videos every hour or so, using search terms / tags for other viral topics that have nothing to do with them. It's a fucking disaster.
Use Youtube Enhancer, it’s an extension that lets you permanently hide any existence of shorts.
Not on TV. Who the fuck wants to watch vertical 60second videos on a 16:9 TV?
It boggles my mind it's forced upon us even on the TV app
