Wish I could say the same.
I'm also using firefox + ublock, but Ive noticed when I'm watching shorts, I'll occasionally get an ad that's disguised as a short. There's no like/dislike buttons or anything.
Just block shorts alltogether, it's a win win.
But.... my doomscroll :<
Just read climate news.
BitchPeas.
How do you block shorts entirely? I used to be able to x them away in YouTube Desktop for 30 days but I can't find that option anymore. And can they be blocked in ReVanced as well?
I found some website that had a line of code that could be added to my adblocker to completely remove them.
Haven't seen them since.
I think it was this: https://letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts
That's intended. Even to premium subs youtube pushes adds which try and promote engagement. Its fucking awful.
Does get me out of the loop sometimes though, so I guess Im thankful for that.
