YouTube Will Now Let You Stop Seeing Shorts Videos In Search Results

YouTube Will Now Let You Stop Seeing Shorts Videos In Search Results
Shorts videos have been YouTube's priority in recent months but the platform is making changes to stop people seeing the content in their search results. This will be part of the new advanced search option that is rolling out for users this month. The platform has been pushing Shorts videos on your regular feed across devices, including TVs but this change means you can filter out Shorts videos from your search and stop seeing them if you don't want to.
The update might not sound like a big deal but it has surely taken YouTube a long time to bring this option, which suggests it is now happy with how much Shorts videos people see.
Shorts Videos Gone, From Your Feed
YouTube claims billions watch Shorts videos which tells you how much the short form content works among users. However, some of you might claim these numbers also include the videos that auto-play and end up as a view even though you just scrolled through the feed.
You can make the change from the YouTube settings and filter out Shorts as content and stop seeing them in the search results. YouTube started as a long video platform but the TikTok craze made it impossible to ignore the short video hype, something that Instagram followed with Reels.
Swipe Left For Next Video
YouTube's belated entry didn't affect its demand and Shorts has been the go-to viewing section for many. But the amount of search catering to short videos has become an issue for many users so the platform altering its reach is a good move. More importantly, YouTube and others now have the AI slop issue, even if the creators are minting big money.
There is no denying that AI-generated content has flooded the internet and even YouTube Music users are seeing its impact on how they consume content. They are seeing songs that have AI written all over their feed. Many YouTube Music users have pointed out that disliking the content doesn't help and they continue to see the songs generated by AI tools in their feed with no way to block them out.
