Youtube search page has so many shorts before the actual videos... - programming.dev

I absolutely despise Shorts. Partly for the inane TikTok apeing content, partly because of vertical video and primarily because I make 45-60 second videos for clients and they want them on YouTube - where they become Shorts, no matter what I do (other than add enough empty video at the end to take them past 61 seconds). It’s infuriating.
Revanced lets you hide shorts.
Yeah, but my clients aren’t likely to be using Revanced ;-)
You can always put it on there.
Newpipe doesn’t even know shorts exist.
I hate Shorts because it insists on showing me bullshit 1-2 view shorts of just inane shit interspersed between ones I actually don’t mind.
I hate shorts because they’re the wrong aspect ratio.
I really hate this as well. I have a few short videos in vertical, and it forces it to be shorts. Can’t find any option to not have it be a short in the end.
