minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoHe’s talking about smart tv app. If those “shorts” are being pulled from some other subdomain then perhaps a block rule on that domain set on the router would help. But best just not to use youtube.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoI’m pretty sure shorts are just Youtube videos but with a different UI. You can take the video ID from the URL of a Shorts clip and put it in a normal Youtube URL and the shorts video plays with the normal Youtube player.

Basically.
