Like and Dislike buttons disappear on Shorts page when Hide Shorts feature is enabled #930

Description

@VampireChicken12

When the Hide Shorts feature is enabled, opening a Short via a direct link causes the Like and Dislike buttons to disappear. This is an unintended side effect of the Shorts-hiding logic. The buttons should remain visible and functional regardless of whether Shorts are hidden in the feed.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enable the Hide Shorts feature in the extension.
  2. Paste a direct link to a Short into the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Observe the video page once the Short loads.

Expected Behavior:
The Like and Dislike buttons should remain visible and functional even when Hide Shorts is enabled.

Actual Behavior:
The Like and Dislike buttons are hidden on Shorts pages when opened directly via URL if Hide Shorts is enabled.

Environment:

  • Platform: Windows 10
  • Browser: Brave 1.83.50 nightly Chromium: 139.0.7258.127
  • Extension version: 1.27.0

Additional Notes:

  • Issue only occurs when the Hide Shorts feature is enabled.
  • Navigating to Shorts via feed or search without Hide Shorts enabled does not hide the buttons.
  • Likely caused by Shorts-hiding logic being applied too broadly (affecting button elements instead of only Shorts containers).
