Can we not do things for fun anymore?

Only for a while, then we want tips when the fun wears off. Imagine Google Reader was still going because the maintainers got the most micropayment tips, and thus the best raises/promotions, while also having the most fun at work. What do you think?

Google Reader was shut for the same reason many things was shut by Google. However, once a piece of software works and is fully featured which Reader was, you don't need endless updates, just security and to work with the latest version of an OS which isn't a significant time lose.

Raises and promotions should never be correlated to busiest staff member.

I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution. Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B... Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...

Thank you!

Hidden is a pretty reasonable synonym for "not visible".

It used to be visible in the URL bar until browsers killed that feature.

Agreed! For Firefox, those features can be put back there with 'Awesome RSS' and 'RSSPreview':
