YouTube is making a major change to how long-form video views are counted

Problem with shorts is until you click on them you don’t know what channel they’re from. Lots of things that look legit are actually AI junk or someone ripping off someone else’s channel.

There are a few Firefox plugins that exclude Shorts from YouTube search results.

Web search engines that provide a video search may have a duration filter. Both Kagi and DuckDuckGo can do this, in a quick check.
