I am BEGGING someone, anyone at Google/YouTube to let me permanently disable YouTube Shorts.

I HATE Short form video content and no matter how many times I select "show me less of this" I still get them front and center when I open the app or website.

Yes, and I also want to permanently disable hover to autoplay on desktop / 'video previews' on mobile browser. It's stored locally in the browser and is forgotten about every four days for me.

I hate that 'feature' so much.

Does this not work for you? >>43854588

It switches itself back on about every four to five days.

>>stephe+R72
It's been permanent for me the last couple of years or so.

Is it because I'm signed in to youtube, maybe?

The setting propagates to other browsers signed in to the same account, I think.

>>ttctci+i82
No, it's not propagated to other browsers signed into the same account, it explicitly says that in the settings page.

Maybe part of the issue is that I am logged into the same account across three different devices, or that I have other Google accounts too logged in (but I don't use YouTube in them, only the account with Premium).

Anyway, it should be trivial for Google to make it actually permanent (I would love it it was stored in my account, which I pay for Premium on, instead of local or cookie storage), but lots of people have this problem.
