      Wish I could say the same.

      I’m also using firefox + ublock, but Ive noticed when I’m watching shorts, I’ll occasionally get an ad that’s disguised as a short. There’s no like/dislike buttons or anything.

        Just block shorts alltogether, it’s a win win.

            I found some website that had a line of code that could be added to my adblocker to completely remove them.

            Haven’t seen them since.

            I think it was this: https://letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts

        That’s intended. Even to premium subs youtube pushes adds which try and promote engagement. Its fucking awful.

        Does get me out of the loop sometimes though, so I guess Im thankful for that.
