Interesting, I’m sceptical of its safety 

It's an open source project. The code is exposed publicly on GitHub, and since it's popular, it's likely that there are always developers looking over the code.

If you guys want to stop watching YouTube Shorts, then why don't you simply decide to stop watching YouTube Shorts? Why are you searching for plugins and apps which blocks it. You are in charge of these kinds of plugins and blocking apps - if they exist - and therefore you could cheat and disable them yourself whenever you feel like watching some Shorts? So what is the point?

The point is that disabling a block requires a degree of planning while clicking on a short in front of you merely requires an impulse to click on it (which there is a strong selection pressure for them to be able to do). That distinction is night and day for driving addictive behavior. Making something inaccessible to your immediate awareness is a really smart way of keeping your impulses in check. That's why keeping your phone outside of view or even in another room while studying is smart if you have trouble looking at your phone impulsively.

Scrolling through Shorts in your feed is a huge pain in the ass.

That's like saying, why don't you just avoid all the ads spinkled throughout a webpage? No thanks. All that crap eats up your mind's bandwidth.

Here is how to remove YouTube shorts on iOS:

Go into your YouTube app and there will be 4 YouTube shorts showing up on the homepage. Click on the 3 dots and click "not interested" - do this on all 4 of the shorts, so that all of them are gone.

When you refresh the page, the shorts will be gone. Even if you close out the app and open it again, the shorts will be gone.

Works also on android! Thanks!!!

I have been using it for around 6-7 months. It works great and I have encountered no problems with my Google account.

It removes ads and offers a ton of customisable features for your app.

My shorts seem to be gone

@Leo Gura The problem is when you click on and then turn into a mindless zombie for 20-minute to an hour just getting dopamined

Surprisingly, that 3 dots trick seems to work on mobile. But for how long will it hold?

@Leo Gura I think it's 30 days

For example, If we didn't have YouTube shorts we wouldn't have Andrew Tate

It does not give one's mind any ONE SINGLE THING to focus on for more than a 30 seconds. If you watch an interview of someone for an hour straight -- your mind is occupied on that single interview for an hour...

Whereas if you are addicted to instant entertainment behaviour like that of watching YT shorts for extended periods, or every now and then... your minds ability to pay attention to something for an extended period of time is getting compromised.. the more you engage in this, the more compromised your mind becomes.. the more easily bored you will get... addiction!

Tell me.

TELL ME HOW DO YOU NOT CLICK ON THIS?
