  > I run YouTube revanced not even for the Adblock but just to remove shorts. [...] I might feel differently about this one day and turn off the algorithm completely on YouTube, but I have not done so yet.

  Turn off your YouTube history/algorithm. It’s free, and it immediately prevents the Shorts tab from working, and kills your homepage. This means you have to actively subscribe to YouTube channels you enjoy, or search for topics you want to know about in that moment. I cannot recommend it enough.
