    Can we get a 0-minute timer?

    Everytime I tell Shorts to go away, YouTube tells me it will bug me again next month.

      Unfortunately last time I pressed the ‘hide shorts’ button the text previously saying they would be hidden for a month now says they will be shown ‘less frequently’. Presumably that’s more frequently that once a month :(

    How about fixing the watch history bug so I can swipe left and delete shorts from my history just as I can for normal videos?

    (Note to any other person watching YT, curate your watch history! Delete videos you don’t want recommendations from from your watch history, it absolutely works!)

    How about removing the Shorts button from the YT app, or at a minimum, disable auto play when I accidentaly tap the button?
