> Nobody asked for shorts in their feed

This has been a big issue for me. I currently use RSS exclusively to view the YouTube channels that I'm subscribed to -- currently about 75 channels (and 27 nebula channels) -- and over half of my YouTube feeds are filled with several shorts (sometimes multiple ones by the same creator per day).

Looking for hashtags in the title and marking those videos as read is essentially muscle memory at this point.

I've had success marking any URL with /shorts/ in it as read. I use FreshRSS and its URL matching is pretty reliable.

Out of curiosity, are you filtering out shorts because of YouTube's terrible Shorts UI, or solely because of shorts' content quality?

		Not OP, but because IMO shorts are mentally harmful. They're the mental equivalent of transfats-heavy foods.
