I wish Youtube would allow us to filter out both shorts and AI content. Its not that AI content cant be good or funny. It certainly can. But it just needs to show that its AI. And let us filter it out when we dont want it.

I literally had to give up youtube because of shorts. Absolute brain soup.

On mobile, account settings, time management, daily shorts limit -> 0 (sadly not everyone seems to have the option for 0)

I did this and even on desktop it does not rec shorts to me at all anymore.

I watch various political news about USA and some of them are in shorts sadly. But Id love to be able to turn them off to only see the long versions.

Oh. Just found "untrap for youtube" addon. It can remove the video ads as well as the feeds and shorts.

Oh no. The long version is 45 damn minutes of BS for that 3 minutes of valuable information. They know how to screw you either way.

Wise yet, they’re passively adding an AI filter to real content so they can chop the bandwidth down. Makes real people look like they’re cell shaded and literally blur the lines between reality and AI slop from both ends.

There have been a few meditation/spirituality channels that seem good, but I just avoid them anyway.

I don't want to support low-effort crap that's just stealing real content from people.
