This is another strong reason why I won't touch TikTok ever. Hell, if I could block Youtube Shorts from being suggested/pushed, I would be forever grateful. 'No, I do not want to watch a 10-15 second video of your opinion of a movie.'
I find shorts less of an existential threat. I think most YouTubers came to realization it wasn't really doing anything for their income even with view inflation.

You can block YouTube Shorts with Revanced if you have Android.

Nearly all of my time watching Youtube vids are on a PC these days. But thanks for the app recommendation.

Even better! Not sure about chrome but firefox has two good extensions: "Youtube-shorts block" and "Hide Youtube-shorts"
