I'm already filtering out sharts with various plugins, but I wanted to enable this setting anyway to signal yt to fuck off.

Turns out, 15min is the lowest timer. Can't turn it off completely

    What’s the maximum time you can set it off for?

    It’s a dark-pattern control just to say they are doing something about it.

    It only limits the number of minutes you can death-scroll Shorts. You’re still drinking from the Shorts firehose for up to 15 min, minimum.

    You can’t turn shorts off. Edit: this may be only in the U.S.
