I'm new to newpipe and I'm going to ask a question that about 80% of y'all are going to freak out over, but I can't find the answer anywhere else.
I want to watch YouTube Shorts without ads but with the same sort of interface as Shorts. I've subscribed to my favorite creators in newpipe, but I can't find a section where I can flip through Shorts as a single feed. I currently have to click into each creator to see their Shorts tabs. Does newpipe have a Shorts feed setting that I'm missing?
And before you bother commenting: Yes I'm a degenerate. Yes long-form is 'better'. You're all right. I don't care that my brain is rotted. Let me wallow in my filth. Preferably without ads.

I am actually quite happy, that NewPipe dose not show Shorts this way. I hate the modern YouTube, that when you search for something you just get bombarded with Shorts, instead of what you are looking for. Yes, there is a filter to sort them out, but this filter resets every time you change the search query.
I can understand that you want to have shorts without ads, everything is better without ads, but I hope NewPipe never adopts this.
Maybe you can use Brave-Browser and login there together with its ad-blocker.

I haven't tried it much, but it looks like libretube can filter subscriptions to show just shorts, which might give you something like what you're after.

You're in good company. That's how my right-wing Boomer coworkers get all their entertainment and news in one extremely long, for some reason full volume, bathroom break

This is a valuable comment.
I consume shorts from exclusively left wing creators and D&D content.
