    Wait, YouTube’s idea of punishing ad-block is removing the most toxic, worthless part of the site?

    Nobody tell them. Not one fucking word. We might even get them to remove Shorts, too, if we pretend this is a bad thing.

      Please Google don’t get rid of shorts! Especially the ones with the wonderful AI voice over and karaoke style closed captioning! Please don’t do that! Or else I’ll keep using adblockers.

      I’m so happy they got rid of dismissing shorts and throw them in a feed more! Please don’t get rid of them!
