Best Way to Hide Shorts from YouTube Algorithm
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
If you click a Short by mistake, the algorithm relentlessly pushes more of them into your feed for weeks. The best way to hide Shorts from the YouTube algorithm is to ensure you never accidentally click one again. The YouTube Enhancer extension effectively removes the /shorts interface from your browser. Because the videos are completely hidden from the UI, you cannot interact with them, starving the algorithm of the metrics required to push them to you.
