Wrong. YouTube shorts ruined the app for me. No way to disable them.

ReVanced on Android lets you remove shorts from the app.

Not even with parental controls.

I'm kinda OK with my kids using Youtube, but I don't want them getting sucked into the infinite pool of shit that is Shorts. But I can't block it even with parental controls.

There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.

I uninstalled the YouTube app too! Without the app, it’s easier to use YouTube more intentionally
