"Short-form video content is abundant across Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Snapchat, and more, with seemingly no end in sight. On the one hand, there's a lot of creativity to be found from creators of short burst-style videos, but... there's a catch: doom scrolling is demoralizing, and our attention spans are suffering day in and day out."
"Google introduced a new feed limiter feature to help users reign in on their Shorts consumption. The feature has until now allowed for limits of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 120 minutes, with the company adding in a 0-minute option to its parental control suite in January of this year."
"To hide Shorts from your YouTube application on iPhone or Android, follow these steps: Launch the YouTube app. Navigate to Settings > Time management > Daily limits. From here, switch on Shorts feed limit. Lastly, select 0 minutes from the on-screen flyout menu."
Short-form video content is increasingly dominant across various social media platforms, leading to creativity but also contributing to doom scrolling and reduced attention spans. Google has introduced a 0-minute feed limiter for YouTube Shorts, allowing users to limit their consumption. This feature is now available to all users on mobile apps, though not on desktop. Users can disable Shorts from their main feed by adjusting settings, which helps mitigate the effects of excessive short-form video consumption.
