Dear YouTube,

Your service has become a large part of what makes the internet great in many ways. Many of us spend a lot of time on your site and have enjoyed being able to connect with communities and creators for entertainment, learning, and many other reasons. Recently you released a shorts feature which seems like it might be reasonable given that the format seems popular on other platforms. Many of us are simply not interested in short format videos and we find these videos to be polluting our curated feeds and ruining the value thats been built on the platform. 

We, the undersigned respectfully ask that you give as us the ability to opt out of shorts. 

Thank you kindly.
