Instead of just fighting TikTok, fueling the short video trend could undermine YouTube’s existing ad business.

    He’s talking about smart tv app. If those “shorts” are being pulled from some other subdomain then perhaps a block rule on that domain set on the router would help. But best just not to use youtube.

      I’m pretty sure shorts are just Youtube videos but with a different UI.

      You can take the video ID from the URL of a Shorts clip and put it in a normal Youtube URL and the shorts video plays with the normal Youtube player.
