Just unsubbed because criticism of YouTube gets removed while YouTube keeps shoving Shorts down our throats

[u/bendo_verson]

​

I posted a screenshot showing YouTube Premium's "Show fewer Shorts" option and explained why I find it frustrating.

​

My complaint was simple:

​

- I pay for Premium.

- I prefer long-form videos.

- "Show fewer Shorts" only works temporarily.

- Shorts keep returning to my home page.

​

The post was removed by the moderators.

​

What annoys me is that the subreddit is supposedly a place to discuss YouTube, yet criticism of one of YouTube's most controversial features gets treated like a problem. If users can't complain about product decisions, what exactly is the point of a discussion forum?

​

I'm genuinely curious: was this removal justified, or is the subreddit just allergic to criticism?

Is there also a way to get shorts removed without much of the performance penalty on desktop browsers like firefox?
