I almost never watch “shorts” but my suggestions for it seem to have an…uhhh…adult theme. I don’t watch any such thing with YouTube. Does everyone see garbage like this?

    Bruh, fuck YouTube, and if you really have to use it use an alternative client. Grayjay has plugins for more apps but there are solely clients with YouTube no adds no shorts and newer with no games

      This. I use Revanced and it hides the shorts shelf and movies by default, so if you’re tutorial hopping you don’t get sidetracked. You can also choose to hide all side related videos, or just the “recommended for you” algorithm. Bonus, it comes with sponsor block built in.

      Just set up Grayjay because of your comment. The seamless integration of both Patreon and YouTube into the same feed is so good. Thanks a lot!
