The limits can be ignored, so show some self-control.

    I watch at most 5 a day. And most days 0. I guess that’s the advantage of desktop, the controls aren’t dumbed down to just flicking my finger across the screen.

    I would rather a toggle that permanently disables the button on the bottom so it’s never ever possible to click ever again.

    Or just add this to uBlock and never see them again.

          I mean I would argue you shouldn’t be using anything except 3rd party clients. Preferably one that blocks “Shorts” entirely because vertical videos are insufferable and just wrong.

          But regardless only like half of users are using the browser so that’s not useful for those people.

        Try this for mobile:

        m.youtube.com##.reel-shelf-items
        m.youtube.com##.reel-shelf-header
        
  • I like how this comes after I accidentally left my browser open on a short and it just kept playing all night, like they saw me watching shorts for over 18 hours straight and were like “we gotta stop that guy.”

    I use the unhook plugin . It’s a quick fix that enables you to able or disable youtube features. I use it because of that, due people still will send you shorts, and well, I can’t say them “stop sending me that shit”, I c-can’t say that to my wife, you know?

    Edit: on mobile yeah, fuck shorts. I love Vance.
