Premium users still get auto dubs, still cannot completely disable auto play, still cannot completely hide Shorts.
It’s amazing how UX hostile companies can get when they don’t have real competition.

Wrt auto-dubs, they can be turned off. To me this feels less deliberately hostile on YT's part and more tunnel vision where they assumed everyone would find this to be a helpful feature and didn't even think about adding a user-level preference to disable it.
But also I find user-level preferences kinda an anti-pattern anyway. Would be nice if you disable it for one video and it just remembers that preference for the next one (or vice versa).
