I don´t have a problem with shorts, i can just ignore them. What i don´t like about youtube shorts is that youtube started expanding those shorts to be as a 2x2 format like seen in the picture, which takes up most of the space on my screen, unlike the original 2x1 format.

Companies like google should really not have so much power. I have stopped using chrome 1 year ago, and i am thinking about switching to a browser that doesn´t use chromium.
