Problem Description

Occasionally, creators, that I do not want to unsubscribe to, create videos that are of no interest to me. Because of this, they tend to clutter up the main "subscribtion" page in FreeTube.

Proposed Solution

This function would hide videos, with certain keywords in the title, from the main subscription page in FreeTube. Some example of keywords could be: "#shorts", "XXX Podcast", "#live", etc.

Imagine, if there was four videos on the main page. Two of these have "#shorts" in this title, while the other two have very generic video titles.

FreeTube

I have no interest in the YouTube shorts videos, so I would like this feature would to hide them from the main FreeTube page, as demonstrated in the picture below.

FreeTube without shorts

Alternatives Considered

An alternative solution would be to expand the "distraction free" setting, with settings such as "hide shorts", "video containing 'XXXX' in title" or other kinds of videos, etc.

👍 Yes please!
I believe there are better ways to detect shorts however, for example, videos with an aspect ratio of square or more vertical and less than 60 seconds in length are YouTube's current criteria.
