      Wish I could say the same.

      I’m also using firefox + ublock, but Ive noticed when I’m watching shorts, I’ll occasionally get an ad that’s disguised as a short. There’s no like/dislike buttons or anything.

        That’s intended. Even to premium subs youtube pushes adds which try and promote engagement. Its fucking awful.

        Does get me out of the loop sometimes though, so I guess Im thankful for that.

        Just block shorts alltogether, it’s a win win.

          How do you block shorts entirely? I used to be able to x them away in YouTube Desktop for 30 days but I can’t find that option anymore. And can they be blocked in ReVanced as well?

            I found some website that had a line of code that could be added to my adblocker to completely remove them.

            Haven’t seen them since.

            I think it was this: https://letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts
