Some people say they are addictive, but to me shorts are an absolute nightmare, I despise them, I hate them, I’m allergic to them.
The ultra quick cutting, the often chopped style, the accelerated voice talking at you without pause or mercy even at 1.0, the subtitles in the center that I cannot disable. It’s an attack on my senses, pure overstimulation.
My wife sends me couple of shorts each day and sometimes it’s even interesting content-wise, but I absolutely hate this horrible format, procrastinate watching them and wish back a world where this form of media did not exist. It all started even before shorts in the way people did videos, and somehow it spiraled into this kind of hell scape.
Anyone else feeling like this?

I hate them so much for all the reasons you mention and a few more.
But there are times that I prefer them over a 2-3 minute vidoe padded to 12-15 minutes for monetization.
I’m going to be a lot more comfortable with shorts after bottom surgery

What does this have to do with shorts? Mine only make a swooshing sound depending on the material. Maybe get some nicer ones?
I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!
I use ublock origin and you can add a custom filter. They put the shorts in a specific panel that you can block easily.
First time I saw them I could see immediately it was YouTube trying to be TikTok, so I just blocked them with uBO. Haven’t seen one since.
PLT: some plugins of YouTube revanced allows you to remove anything related to shorts from your YouTube android app. So you can spend more time on regular-sized videos c:
yes. There is a youtube extension called unhook (?) which lets you remove them from pretty much anywhere on the site.
i fucking hate short videos. it’s the most vacuous thing invented thus far.
i literally block or dim the thumbnails with ublock origin.
then again i also hate long videos with slow talking and tons of useless and filler segments such as:
- intro montage
- recap
- sponsor product ad
- channel subscription begging
- alternate channel subscription begging
- off topic rambling/ranting
- outro montage
(thank you ❤️Freetube & ❤️Sponsorblock)
Shorts sre awesome, way better than pants unless it is cold out or I am doing something that would scratch up my legs.
Oh, you mean the youtube shit. It is the worst of that video format and they all suck.
They’re comfy and easy to wear!
Seriously though, shorts are bad pants. Do you want ticks ? That’s how you get ticks !
I never wear shorts.
I can’t wear shorts, people ask if I’m riding a chicken.
Shorts are horrible. When I’m not watching them, they grab my attention, then immediately overwhelm me so they lose my attention. Then they grab my attention again, etc.
I have disabled shorts with a browser extension because I absolutely cannot stand them. Fuck shorts.
Shorts are way too short to learn anything, I find most of them useless or stupid trash. I only seen a few good shorts. Ugh so bad. Also isn’t YouTube loosing money on shorts, just to compete with TikTok… ugh
If anyone is looking to block shorts, there’s a cool uBlock origin list for it; https://github.com/gijsdev/ublock-hide-yt-shorts
can’t stand them cause i hate vertical videos. at first they were restricted to vine, then tiktok… then they broke containment and every video service out there wanted to stuff them in their app whether people asked for them or not.
Even Spotify has a version of them 🤯😡😤
I absolutely hate these shitty little fucking videos with a passion. Which is why I told them to piss the fuck off with YouTube ReVanced.
