YouTube already lets its users put a hard stop on their watch time each day, and an update to that feature is giving viewers even more control over their feeds. Anyone who's sick of YouTube Shorts can now set their time limit for the format to zero, effectively removing it from their YouTube experience altogether. Users can put a cap on their Shorts time by navigating over to the time management tab in the YouTube app. That toggle first became available last year, but it now boasts a wider range than it did at launch. At the high end, users can cut off their Shorts viewership after two hours of activity. For the real haters, however, that cap can now be set at zero. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
