Why are so many YouTube videos portrait rather than landscape now?
The sheer number of videos taken "the wrong way round" (for my computer's monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?
the only way I found is to press the X on top right and then it is hidden (in theory) for 1 month or so, haven't checked if it's for all devices though. I hate with passion that there is no way of permanently disable it (last time I checked)
If someone knows a way I'll be happy to know it :-)
You can either use the "Enhancer For Youtube" addon, or use Ublock Origin filters. I mainly use Enhancer to both hide shorts and also convert shorts to regular videos.
