I pay for YouTube Premium and I still use ReVanced on mobile.

Being able to remove Shorts from the app and to revert Alphabet's many incoherent design decisions makes the whole thing usable.

How do you hide Shorts? I can't figure out how to do it.

Search "YouTube Revanced" on Android. It's a bit of a pain to install, but it lets you customise your YouTube app and add or remove as many features as you want.

These kinds of customisations should be standard for apps people use every day.

To be clear, I have revanced and use it daily. I'm just too stupid to be able to figure out how to hide Shorts

You -> Gear icon -> Revanced Settings -> General -> Navigation Buttons -> Hide Shorts.

You need to also hide them from the feed and a few other places. You are not stupid; Revanced has too many options and the settings and large and confusing. It's easier to search "shorts" and toggle everything.

		Thank you. I already had that setting enabled, but your comment inspired me to review all the settings again and I have been successful in hiding Shorts from view (for now, until Google changes something again no doubt).
