They’re designed to keep people with poor impulse control caught in a constant loop of short garbage clips. A bigger screen is not going to change that.
Also I don’t normally watch YouTube on my phone unless I’m travelling and when I do I use NewPipe.
Ublock + ff. in ublock select the eye dropper, move the eye dropper over the shorts section until you see the videos and the word shorts highlighted then click to block
YouTube shorts are cancer already. I’ve had them blocked ever since they appeared.
Never watched one, never will. Rarely watch YouTube either except the odd music video.
Is that opinion because you’re on a phone? They’re OK by me on a PC and big TV. OTOH, if I’m not logged in, the pure shit they shovel at me, yikes.

How do you block them? I keep pressing “show fewer shorts” but they keep popping up and I can’t find an option to block them entirely.

In addition to what others have said, SmartTube has options to remove them on Android TV devices
I use the “Hide Shorts for YouTube” plugin on Firefox
Use this on Android: http://newpipe.net/ Or this on Android or desktop: https://grayjay.app/desktop/
I just used block element in ublock origin. Haven’t seen em since
Thanks! This seems to work.
