alt Hacker NewsOut of curiosity, are you filtering out shorts because of YouTube's terrible Shorts UI, or solely because of shorts' content quality?

Not OP, but because IMO shorts are mentally harmful. They're the mental equivalent of transfats-heavy foods.
Most channels post just clips of full videos on Shorts, it's not original content.
I've already seen the full video, I don't want to see clips of it again.
Also 90% of my RSS reading is done on a desktop/laptop and it feels "wrong" to watch 30 second vertical shorts on a 32" display :D
