TL;DR
- YouTube is finally letting you reclaim your feed by allowing a zero-minute daily limit for Shorts.
- Setting the timer to zero effectively kills the addictive infinite scroll before it even starts.
- Clips can still appear in places like your Subscriptions feed.
YouTube Shorts isn’t going anywhere, but for the first time, you’re getting a say in how much of it you actually see.
After a long period of promoting its TikTok-style feed, YouTube has quietly rolled out a feature that lets you dial Shorts way down, or effectively hide them altogether, as per The Verge. It’s not a complete shutdown, but it’s the closest thing yet.
