This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I do think it's funny that the one company that won't let you solve a problem Google created, is Apple. Meanwhile Android has had sideloaded apps for ages.

So, un-jailbroken iPhones can run uYouPlus, or similar apps through AltStore. You can sign into your account, view/post comments, see dislikes, auto-skip ads, intros, outros, etc., completely disable Shorts, and so many more things…

The only problem is you have to re-sign the app by tethering it to a computer once every year (if you have an Apple Developer account) or every week for everyone else.

yeah i know about that, i had it but removed it since sideloading with linux is a bit of a mess. i don't know if you can disable shorts and community posts there though, i never checked

Yep, you can. It removes both the tabs at the bottom as well as scrubbing them from the subscription feed.

I’m using uYouPlus but I can’t find the option to disable shorts.

Edit: Nvm I figured it out.

It is under settings > general > uYou > home
