YouTube has quietly rolled out a new feature allowing users to effectively turn off the Shorts feed entirely from their main feed. This long-awaited option addresses a persistent user complaint about the platform's short-form video content.

• The new feature, found under Settings > Time management > Shorts feed limit, includes a zero-minute option to silence the Shorts feed.
• This change comes after YouTube CEO Neal Mohan highlighted Shorts averaging over 200 billion daily views.
• While the setting is dismissible and not a hard block for general users, it represents the most significant native control yet for users wanting to focus on long-form content.
