Global filters and ability to filter YouTube Shorts

So for example, I’d like to hide all posts that contain the word crypto, currently I need to wait until something pops up in my feed then add the filter in individually per feed.

It would be awesome if I could just globally filter a term from all feeds. Would also be handy if you hadn’t seen the latest Marvel film/show and wanted to avoid spoilers for example.

Also, I have a few YouTube channels in my feed, I have no interest in watching any shorts, but there is no way for me to hide them. I’m not sure if it would be possible to grab the length of the video and allow filtering of videos under a certain length.

I’d love to be able to do this. I understand that account-wide filters are computationally expensive, so limiting it to a paid tier would make sense to me.

You were faster than me. I absolutely would like these too.

Good news, this is now live! You can now set intelligence training at three scope levels: per-site (the default), per-folder, and global (across all feeds).

Train a keyword like “sponsored” as a dislike once at the global level, and it hides matching stories everywhere. Or scope it to a folder to fine-tune a group of feeds without affecting the rest.

All classifier types are supported: titles, authors, tags, text, URLs, and regex. You can manage everything from the new scope filter in the Manage Training tab.

This feature is available for Premium Archive subscribers.

First of all, I appreciate this has been added.

However, paying more than double what I’m currently paying for premium for this one feature just for this isn’t worth it for me.

Shame.

There’s a lot more to Premium Archive than global filters. Plus, I have two more big ticket features launching in the next couple weeks: web feeds and daily briefings, both available only to premium archive subscribers. All new features are going to Premium Archive, so it’s a great deal.

For me there isn’t anything in Premium Archive that I have any interest in except for this feature which as I said, as much as I want this feature, it’s not worth more than doubling what I’m paying.

I probably don’t use half the feature of the Premium plan I’m on, I just like the service so don’t mind paying for it.

I get that it’s probably more intensive to scan through all the content of the posts in a persons feed which is why it’s on the most expensive plan.

The most expensive plan is actually the Premium Pro at $29/month. That gets you fetches every 5-15 minutes, which is a necessity for some users.

Did we come to a solution for YT shorts specifically? I added duration tags, but I don’t know if that solves it. And maybe you want more duration tags or a different set?

Revisiting this as the F1 season is starting soon and the teams are posting loads of shorts so its “annoying” as its not something I’m interested in seeing. Quite often the shorts are just bits from a longer video I’ve already watched.

When you say you added duration tags, where about ?

What would be a nice option is to have something that excludes videos of a certain (user defined) duration? Or maybe just all shorts (which I think is any video under 3min)

I added duration tags, but I don’t know if that solves it.

You did? Do the require a specific subscription tier or something? Cause I haven’t seen any tags show up in my Youtube feeds.

You need the $99 a year plan for this feature.

For the short video tag? It should be available to everyone. I don’t see it either so maybe it didn’t launch. I’m thinking under two minutes. I’ll see about adding that tomorrow.

Ok, new YT stories should have a short video tag on videos under 180 seconds in duration.

Seems a bit inconsistent. The video I checked this morning has a “short video” tag. Moving to another feed that usually has a lot of shorts the first one from a couple of days ago has the tag, but the next couple shorts in the feed doesn’t.

It’s not retroactive (beyond the most recent 3 stories). So future stories should show the tag.

This is really nice, thanks for the feature, I can now get rid of all the junk clips I don’t wanna see !!!

Keep up the great work !!!
