*Sorry about the recent Short ending up in your sub feed!*
My fault - I completely forgot to untick the "send to subscribers" box like I have on all my previous Shorts.
I make Shorts based on my regular videos as a means to share my content and channel to an audience who otherwise wouldn't see it. This channel has nearly doubled in size since I started doing this, so it's obviously effective. All the same, I don't want to annoy my existing subscribers with content they have already seen, so I always untick the box that says "send to subscribers" meaning you should never see these videos in your regular subscription feed.
Unfortunately there is no option for me to associate Shorts with a long-form video or to prevent YouTube recommending the Shorts to you outside of the main subscription feed.
If I could tick a box that says "don't show this to subscribers even in recommendations" then I would. If I could tick a box that says "don't show this to anyone who has seen the long-form video these are based on" then I would.
I do what I can to stop duplicate content for people, but I can only control what goes out to subs and nothing else.
If you get recommended a Short and you don't want to watch it then don't watch it. Hopefully the time it takes to skip or scroll past a Short is a minor inconvenience that fans don't mind.
Obviously if you do perceive this as more than a minor inconvenience I would love to know why, so please do let me know so I can understand how this impacts people.
But my bad on the most recent one - I've double checked the other Shorts scheduled to release and nothing else should appear in your sub feed.
