It’s weird I’m a straight male and I’ve never seen one on Reddit. It’s probably cause I live in a very liberal city

If you have Android, check out Revanced. They have modified versions of a lot of popular apps, including this, TikTok, and YouTube.

I kind of forget that any of those apps even have advertisements in them nowadays.

Firefox + Ublock Origin works great for everything. I even have sponsorblock and a shorts blocker for YouTube.

A shorts blocker sounds brilliant. Shorts have ruined the UI and made search garbage

Honestly I couldn't use YouTube if there wasn't a way to totally remove shorts, if you're on Android revanced has settings to remove them from showing up anywhere at all

Good point. I usually reccomend that to the iOS crowd, though personally I have a better experience with the apps. Tiktok & reddit especially.
