## Description

Ever found yourself at 4am, wondering why you didn't go to bed at midnight when you told your friends you would and stopped playing video games?  You sat down with your laptop, said, "I'll watch one video, then sleep." Then it happened -- 240 movie clips interspersed with oversexualized bait and AI voiceover later, you regret everything and want to die. This extension checks if you're on a shorts page, and redirects you back to the homepage. Do something else with your life.
