Google should split shorts into a separate app and then let it die like everything else.
Use the Revanced app on android and you can remove these
I do use newpipe, had to fire up the YouTube app for Chromecasting to a TV and was greeted by this.
Revamped supports Chromecast as well. Does Newpipe not?
Newpipe is a website scrapper. It is fully open source as well. It does not have Chromecast support.
Revanced is a patcher for the official YouTube app, which is why it has chromecast support

The desktop site is not any better. The uBlock origin rules for blocking shorts are a lifesaver.
I’m sorry guys, I actually watch the YouTube Shorts so Google pushing them into more people is my fault. I just don’t care to download Tik Tok and have yet another app. 😭
I don’t think the shorts themselves are a problem, but I’ve never searched for a short
Setup uBlock to get rid of all shorts.
