In general there needs to be a way to disable Youtube Shorts. It's a massive attention hole that preys on people in a very addiction forming way. Doubly so for people with ADHD, etc.

you can turn it off on a PC browser with an extension.

but yeah on a device or on the network no :-( I have the same complaint

Yep you can use extensions but tbh they are of varying quality and youtube changes their site so much in an attempt to fight adblockers that most youtube extensions tend to be really brittle.

If you're using Android, then you have access to Firefox and its library of extensions.
