The nastiest trick for me is that no matter how times I tell YouTube not to show me shorts on the home page, they always sneak back in.

Yeah, they changed it to “stop showing as often”. I love the gaslighting forced features, so much…

The "fix" I've seen them testing is changing the wording to "show less shorts."

The top tier engineers were struggling to make it so that auto-play would stay off. This is no surprise.

It turns itself back on for me so frequently that I'm sure they must be intentionally having the site reset that preference... I hate it with a passion.

Now when I go on mobile Safari and want to switch off 'video previews' (for the thousandth time), and I tap the switch, it stays switched on but the 'Settings saved' thing comes up on the bottom. You have to tap it again to actually switch it off. I wonder if that's a bug or intentional too now...
