Shorts were what made me install uBlock, even though I was a paid subscriber. uBlock is so handy at removing shorts, already-watched recommendations, etc. They keep making the interface worse.
I dumped my subscription because of it. If I have to use an ad-blocker to make the site useable, and the ad-blocker already blocks the ads which was the reason I subscribed in the first place...no point in paying anymore. Fuck 'em.
No joke, I would pay for this more than i do for premium.
Half my feed or suggestions are AI crap.
Sadly I have lots of niche interests (various history topics, or engineering) and there's an endless amount of channels and videos that are entirely AI generated.
And it takes you a while to catch them, because they are well done, even the narrator is fake. But then I realize I'm just watching an AI dramatized summary and I get mad at Youtube.
The filter is what is key. If they label all AI videos but still serve me AI slop as the first response, then it doesn't matter if it's labeled at all.
I really doubt that google will implement that filter. But I guarantee it'll be added soon to revanced and other patched youtube apps.
They could use the same data to pay AI posters less and push their content more. Which will get you a promotion at Google.
Sounds like a premium feature!
Honestly, that might get me to subscribe.
Yes, like filtering out shorts.

How about ones making a stupid video of SO question/answers
If they don't it would be a relatively easy browser plugin to make.
Can't await this checkbox
Where exactly do you want to draw the line?
Create your own browser extension to block them!
Some searches might have 99% videos I want filtered out.
I wish the same thing for the "AI dubbed" videos.
I find them to be flatly insulting to the original content. I'd rather hear the creators original voice and read machine translated subtitles.
The individual creator can turn that off in settings — however, it was enabled automatically for everyone, and creators have to know to turn it off...
