Fucking YouTube Shorts...

Exactly. Which is why I've removed/blocked them. I can't remember how, exactly. But it's not a GreaseMonkey script. I think it was simply uBlock Origin. Could also maybe have been a youtube setting?

I fucking agree, and almost every short with a women in it has a few frames where they stretch while in a bra and bend over when wearing yoga pants.

Even so, I think I may need to start the move to Odysee soon. I've been finally getting those annoying-as-hell pop-ups from YouTube whining about my adblocker. If they block access entirely, it's off to Odysee.

I've seen screenshots of that "youtube wants you to turn off adblocker" thing, but I've never seen it. I use Brave and uBlock Origin.

I've never seen it either. I use Pale Moon and uBlock Origin and eMatrix (and Pure URL). With GreaseMonkey and 2 scripts about returning dislike button and by-passing the age filter.

Its just youtube trying to copy the style of tiktok for profit

Looks like after years click in "I'm not interested, stop recommend this" did something. Youtube gave up spamming me. Thank you for helping out, BlockTube.

And it's actually working for them, believe it or not. They already surpassed tiktok in views.

You can also use RSS feed to follow up good channels. The easiest way is using Feedbro or adding manually (or using scripts) to a RSS reader: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={like: "UCdOM6Qc53TcWuExrnDLVjXg"}

NEVERMIND, just got one.

But then I just pressed the X to close the pop-up and continued watching the video.

Just watched a whole host of cop body cams, and still no adblocker notice. Nor ads, or YT shorts.
