Why are so many YouTube videos portrait rather than landscape now? - Blåhaj Lemmy

The sheer number of videos taken “the wrong way round” (for my computer’s monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?

I wish I could at least block Shorts.

For uBlock:

! YT Homepage - Hide the Shorts section youtube.com##[is-shorts] ! YT Menu - Hide the Shorts button www.youtube.com###guide [title="Shorts"], .ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer[title="Shorts"] ! YT Search - Hide Shorts www.youtube.com##ytd-search ytd-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-video-renderer) ! YT Search and Channels - Hide the Shorts sections www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer ! YT Channels - Hide the Shorts tab www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="channels"] [role="tab"]:nth-of-type(3):has-text(Shorts) ! YT Subscriptions - Hide Shorts - Grid View www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="subscriptions"] ytd-grid-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-grid-video-renderer) !

YT Sidebar - Hide Shorts www.youtube.com###related ytd-compact-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-compact-video-renderer)
Seems quite extensive, but... do I place some and/or all of it on the "My rules" or "My filters" tab on uBlock?
Paste it at the bottom of your "my filters" section. Be sure to "Apply" when done.
