I thought I finally defeated social media, only to find out I am now addicted to YouTube. Can you blame me, though? YouTube is lowkey better than Instagram. ...
I disabled shorts and went through my front page and said to not show me stupid addictive content and then also took two weeks off. I also used libredirect addon on Firefox to redirect all YouTube links to inviduos so that if a link somewhere took me there I didn’t get sucked right back.
It’s one of the available Revanced patches, you’ll need to download the latest supported YouTube version from APK mirror and patch it with Revanced manager (the right version will be shown as “Suggested”)
there you’ll choose the “Hide Shorts component” patch

How do you disable shorts!?!? I’ve been meaning to do this. They’re so annoying.
wear pants
I also would like to gain the power of banishment.

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to try out Revanced. Surely this will make me. :)
Go for it, you won’t regret it!
I’ve set my frontpage to be my subscriptions. Firefox addon. No shorts, no bs.
