Thank you very much. I found myself wasting too much time mindlessly on shorts. I usually go on youtube to put some background work music and end up watching shorts for half an hour before I realize what I'm doing..
I've straight up noticed a difference in attention span and general mood after the short video feature came out. I've strongly considering just quiting RUclips all together as a source of entertainment. I've already completely abandoned Facebook because of this trend.
Yes! Everything is being centralized, whats on one platform is on every other and you cant seem to escape this junk. RUclips is the only thing i have now and these shorts seem almost designed to waste my time. The front covers of each short is based off what you watch but once you click one of those squares and keep scrolling, every other video after that has nothing to do with whats on the front cover of the short or what you watch. So you have a long list of shorts with stuff you actually watch on the front cover, but then string off to stuff everyone seems to watch, very convenient. We are all getting exposed to the same shit day after day getting more and more desensitized. Sorry for the rant I probably sound crazy.
Yeah, and then you try watch a video and you’re bombarded with two 15 seconds ads, then at the middle another two 15 second ads, then at the end of the video and other two fifteen second ads. I just go less on RUclips bc every time I get an ad I just want to close the app. This is especially annoying for iPhone users bc they can’t get adblocker
I seriously thought I was the only one who found that the shorts feature was literally ruining my schedule and wasting severe amounts of time for me. It’s interesting to see everyone is having this problem. I stay away from TikTok and Instagram for this very reason, but even RUclips is doing these shorts and it’s aggravating.
kinda same, i started watching too much youtube and couldn't do my work in time plus making me more prone to start workout late or skip them. i feel like shorts have a brain numbing effect, as u start watching them, time is diluted
Yep, it's absolute cancer, it spreads all over the place, really hard or impossible to get rid of, everybody hates it, it wastes a ton of time and energy, like just cancer if cancer was software
I hate that TikTok is merging with every other platform. It makes it so difficult to avoid that kind of content. I didn’t download it because I KNEW I would get addicted to it. But here I am, watching endless amounts of RUclips Shorts and RUclipsrs reacting to TikToks…
RUclips was soo much better without trying to copy facebook and ticktok RUclips was a great information library where you could learn anything Now its just library where you get a concentration and attentionspan labotomy everytime you open it Please youtube stop this and become great again
My attention span has been suffering so much, to the point, that I'm watching a 10 min video on my ipad, and I struggle to not grab my phone. Let alone pick a book now. I used to devour them one per week, now I can barely focus on a single page, no matter the topic. This is getting ridiculously dangerous. And I'm glad I could find this. I've deleted most social apps with this video format due to not finding anything like this for them. To whoever says they can stop cold turkey, I dare you to try it.
I LOVE YOU, whenever I go on RUclips is to watch something that will be at least more meaningful or useful than tik tok or reels, but I got trapped in shorts for hours through the summer and unlike spending hours whatching videos that I actually enjoy, getting traped in shorts is just a waste of time from which you only earn a sense of guilt
What bugs me is RUclips "harassing" good content creators to create short videos, it is annoying (like i'm a 1 year old baby with one eye above the other to only enjoy 25 seconds of vertical video)
Follows the general principle of content since the dawn of civilization: Content usually gets shorter, dumber, and requires fewer neurons as time progresses.
i was searching for a way to disable youtube shorts since that version came out because i found myself wasting way too much time watching those nonsense shorts instead of doing my work so thank you so so much
What the actual fuck, i googled this video and went to go to my feed and all my shorts were gone. Googled how to enable shorts again, shorts are back. Im weirded out af.
This has stopped working. It worked for about an hour and then it all came back. Now I can't get it to go away even if I do the not interested thing 50+ times
I’ve been looking for the shorts thing just to do this and they won’t show up. I guess they realized that I’m about to try to get them out of here. I hope there is some way that you can take the shorts option off of the he menu screen because that would be too perfect. I never understood why they decided to put shorts along with home, subscriptions, and library? I can’t tell you how much I want to remove shorts from that area.
A better way to do it is to download RUclips vanced and then to go to parameters, vanced parameters, ad parameters, and to check the Shorts disabled option. 😉
Many many thanks! Those bloody shorts are a complete drug!! I've thrown away lots of hours of my precious time on them, and I'm 41, imagine what these apps can do to a child or a teenager!
I agree 100% bro (im 15 years), ive wasted way too much time on shorts, i really need to fix my attention span and do more deep work. Glad i found this video
Thank you so much. I never installed tiktok, instagram, Facebook or the like because it messed with my reality which I can't handle. Shorts got me and been addicted while getting depressed about perfect people. Key to mental health is to keep reality in check.
i actually watch a lot of high quality full length videos, but shorts are just a sesspit of toxicity, procrastination, and all that other nonsense. now i can just avoid them for the most part.
thank you very much, they are so addicting even though they have cringe humor, i can keep watching them for hours even when i have very important stuff to do
Imagine deleting reddit a year ago only to it to come back in a new form in a place when you just watch documentaries and funny stuff time to time ,anything from reddit is depressing as fuck ,and dye colour hair companies are just getting richer
Yeah I'd like to apologise to reddit ,mark zukenburkh and elon musk and keanu Reeves, sorry I'm not wholesome bigchungus 100 triglionaire alpha sigma beta
My reasoning for wanting to remove them is both because I spend too much time on them, like most people said, but also because the comments there are particularly hostile. Worse than most social media comments. I always end up clicking on comments cause on most regular RUclips videos they’re normal, but there it’s awful.
Thank you. I am doing this to focus more on my studies and youtube shorts are a really big distraction to me. It feels like a minute passes by when i watch them, but hours go by and i get nothing out of it.
I’ve never liked tik tok and I don’t know why RUclips added shorts I always see me watching for to long and these weird people show up saying Useless story’s about something that happens like 10 years ago thank you so much this does work just doesn’t last too long so have to do it around once a week
Lots of people here with am obvious lack of self control, since shorts are apparently 'ruining' their lives and schedules. Was hoping people hated them for valid reasons instead of their own failures.
Honestly I hate them because of how they function. From a utility standpoint you can't scroll to a certain point or see a description. Technically you can see them through the history or even Having to like the short just to veiw it as a regular vid but you know that just seems really dumb and annoying.
@@derpscythe I hate how there's no scrolling bar that lets you drag to different parts of them, and how the layout just drastically changes. Plus a lot of videos I used to watch are now in that horrendous short format, and it sucks. Honestly wish there was a way to keep them from even appearing in search results.
It took about 20 minutes of refreshing and hitting not interested on every short before it finally worked, but it worked. Thank you! I absolutely can’t stand this terrible feature Edit: all i had to do was restart RUclips and the cancerous shorts were back at the top of the page. I am so tired of this
RUclips you're ruining my fricking free time with these shorts I swear :/ I went from choosing what to enjoy and focus on to getting mindlessly lost and wasteful with my time I hate this. It's why I don't have TikTok or use Facebook!
Dude thank you so much. I’m getting so many things from TikTok and while I have some things that aren’t bad, the things that are get me to stay on it for a while which isn’t good for me whatsoever. So seriously thank you. Wish RUclips didn’t even add it in the first place, but no surprise knowing how these companies work.
I wouldn't care so much about this if I could watch them like regular videos on my phone. Instead, I tap the screen to pause it or whatever and it ends up switching to the next video.
Fun Fact: The down votes are for youtube not having an option to remove shorts permanently, not for the video, which shows the only way to remove them.
Thank you so much you’re a life saver !! I got rid of tik tok ages ago and the new RUclips shorts makes RUclips the equivalent of tiktok which I hate, so thanks man 👍 edit - I just did it and it worked thank you!!!
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. They keep reappearing when I refesh my feed. Fuming...especially considering I pay for premium! Please help :-(
When I do this, the shorts come back instantly when I refresh. Does anyone have any advice? I'm wasting so much time on shorts and I need to hide them.
Why not permanently option of removing you tube shorts.Someone must move court.Too much exposure of vulgarity for the kids.PIL can solve the problem to some extent for the sake of betterment of society.Same can be done to ban online games on playstore
The content is horrible and at the same time super addictive. The content is so bad, it actually hurts your soul. Yet you keep watching. It’s also very bad for your concentration. The dopamine rush will mess with your brain.
Thank you!! Ive spent way toouch time locked into these short videos on all platforms and it's driving me insane. Spent 20 minutes looking in the settings to disable it before searching for this video. Thank you thank you. Now id ask how to disable tik tok but I believe they already are
Thanks a lot brother, oftenly I use yt for online lectures and when I start watching this shit, I literally waste my 1 to 1.5 hr instead of studying You saved my future from ruining🙏🙏😅😅
Thank you for this advice ! I was appalled when RUclips decided to block the center of my premium account screen with that degraded trash that that visual media genre is. Of course they did not offer a straightforward opt-out option.
Weird thing is right after searching for this video without even klicking the dots all shorts disappeared from my recommended. Suspicious as hell that background algorithm 🤔
Came back here just to say that this works, took me about three days and pressing "not interested" about thirty times but now shorts are gone and I couldn't be happier.
Im on Windows PC using Brave browser. Im fine watching the video shorts; I just dont like the format. I dont like the up-to-down video list without comments, the popup comment box, the auto play of videos you scroll over, the automatic video repeat, the rotated camera view, etc. I just want to see the video in standard format.
You just need to copy a link to the video from the screen with the right mouse key, insert into the address bar of the browser and the standard page with the video will open.
@@Dimmm-085 Unacceptable still; I shouldnt have to do anything special or utilize the format in any way. I want the entire format shut off but still giving me access to the videos like normal.
@@leesweets4110 I hope that soon the browsers will come up with a hack expansion against shorts, which, when pressed, will immediately tumble a link to normal videos.
Unfortunately they are moving shorts onto the web, too. They count anything under a minute as a short. You can’t view short’s comments unless you get the app :(
Thank you. This is hugely helpful. I've fallen down the shorts rabbit hole too many times. You see one good video and spend an hour wading through utter garbage looking for more without realizing how much time you waste
This doesn't work anymore sadly... Correction: It does still work it seems. I just had to refresh about 20 times and click not interested on every short. Every time I refreshed it seemed there were less shorts for me to delete.
its too much like tiktok. My aunt doesn't want my younger cousin on tiktok so she deleted on their device, and as you can already guess she went right to youtube shorts and youtube shorts is filled with tiktok videos and its basicall the same as tiktok, its very addicting and yes she is now addicted to youtube shorts.
@@blackhole4920 I'm using Android. Mine came back instantly too, but after a while (most of the day I guess) they stopped showing up. I also repeated the process, so maybe try that?

Thank you very much. I found myself wasting too much time mindlessly on shorts. I usually go on youtube to put some background work music and end up watching shorts for half an hour before I realize what I'm doing..
I know the exact feeling. Very interesting content on there but that’s just not how I want to spend my time
Same that's exactly why I looked this up lol
Wasting 2 hours everyday on them, super addictive
Totally agree with you.
And unfortunately, there is also a huge lot of garbage "Tiktok-like" on YT shorts 😬
It’s so unhealthy for the brain
I've straight up noticed a difference in attention span and general mood after the short video feature came out. I've strongly considering just quiting RUclips all together as a source of entertainment. I've already completely abandoned Facebook because of this trend.
Same here.

Life saver. Short videos are addictive AF. Heard it can also affect our attention span. Thanks for the video mate.
It CAN? It WILL.
These shorts are quite literally short. So yes, it will decrease our attention span.

Thank you. This is hugely helpful. I've fallen down the shorts rabbit hole too many times. You see one good video and spend an hour wading through utter garbage looking for more without realizing how much time you waste
It doesn't work anymore.What do I do?
This doesn't work anymore sadly...
Correction: It does still work it seems. I just had to refresh about 20 times and click not interested on every short. Every time I refreshed it seemed there were less shorts for me to delete.
this actually works
Short form videos will be the death of us fuckin hypnosis
its too much like tiktok. My aunt doesn't want my younger cousin on tiktok so she deleted on their device, and as you can already guess she went right to youtube shorts and youtube shorts is filled with tiktok videos and its basicall the same as tiktok, its very addicting and yes she is now addicted to youtube shorts.
Omfg thanks so much. I don’t understand why they’re there and I click on 1 and half an hour of life goes away ;-;
Mine came back after refreshing, any tips?
Same here
It actually did eventually work, I think my app was lagging
@@im_bobby_mom The shorts come back instantly after refreshing in my case. Are you using Android, or iOS?
@@blackhole4920 I'm using Android. Mine came back instantly too, but after a while (most of the day I guess) they stopped showing up. I also repeated the process, so maybe try that?
@@im_bobby_mom okay I'll try that
I think it's not working now
When I refreshed it came back
RUclips is just turning into insta where every video is a repost from tiktok
doesn't work anymore. they just come right back
This is not disabling it’s just hiding them for time being they pop up after a period of time
omg there is now "stories" which are the same thing but you can't turn them off. I can just mindlessly watch these for so long I really wish I can turn them off
