    For a while I stayed watching a lot of shorts even though I don't like them much. It's just so easy to get sucked in... But some weeks ago I found NouTube which is basically a Web version that blocks ads and sorts. It's like the good old days. YouTube suddenly feels so interesting again. Shorts have cannibalized long format videos.

    I am the kind of person who wants the content of channels I subscribed to 95% of the time.

    I was annoyed with bs all the time. Self hosting Invidious solved it for me.

    No shorts, no ads, no home area deaigned by Google, no cookie banner, no forcing to log in, just a clean UI...

    And the increasing ads. They’re almost unbearable. Anyone know how to block them on mobile?

    Instal the FDroid software shop.

    Search "Newpipe" or "Tubular".

    Install one of the above.

    Remove the regular YT client from your phone.

    Done.

    YouTube changes their algorithm every few weeks and some subset of creators freak out about it. This has literally been going on since monetization began.
