Is this really working on ALL shorts?

And if I click on the panel "no more shorts", is this setting then applied continuously?

Nothing’s working on ALL shorts, not for long, because google shakes things up semi-frequently to jam shorts down everybody’s throats

To solve it once and for all you’d probably want to extract the length of all displayed videos and hide all that fit within the short’s limits

I have leechblock setup to block:

  youtube.com/shorts/*

and that seems to block all viewing of shorts. It doesn't stop their inclusion in playlists/recommendations or on a given channel's page(s). Works for me.

Idk, I’m using a previous version of this list (the one it was forked from) and it works for me! Didn’t even realize it wasn’t updated.
