YouTube Lets You Quiet Shorts With a 0-Minute Limit

YouTube is rolling out a zero-minute Shorts option under Time management, effectively adding friction that can hide Shorts from the Home feed when set to 0 minutes. It’s not a full kill switch — Shorts can still appear in subscriptions and be accessed via direct links — but the feature makes it harder to doom-scroll. To enable, go to Profile > Settings > Time management and set the Shorts limit to 0 minutes; the rollout is underway and targeted at parental controls before expanding to everyone.
