Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you? - Lemmy.World

If TikTok disappears, I will miss the algorithm.TikTok gives me the right amounts of all of the things I’m interested in. I don’t have the same experience elsewhere. Do you?

I don’t use TikTok or Instagram and I block shorts on YouTube. The average lenght of the videos I watch is somewhere between 10 to 20 minutes.

Can you block shorts in the settings?

You need an addon for that. YouTube lets you block shorts for 30 days at a time.

I use a custom filters for uBlock Origin:

www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#thumbnail[href*=“/shorts”]:upward(7) www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*=“Shorts”]

Though they might need to be a little bit different depending on browser and OS (mine are chrome on mac).

Thanks.

I was more interested in the way the other person said.

They said you can do it in the YT app for 30 days at a time. I can’t find it though. I’m limited as I’m on iOS.
