It was so much better than Facebook, but if course Google mismanaged it to death.

I just want to turn off shorts completely. I know there are extensions that kind of do it, but they all cause problems for me while browsing videos.

If you have ublock origin, you can make them functionally disappear:

Copy the link below, go to uBlock Origin > Dashboard > Filter lists, scroll to the bottom, and paste the link underneath the 'Import...' heading:

Actually made YouTube a non-cancerous experience for me

I'll give that a try, but I'm not expecting it to work. All the other solutions have cause the feed to "rubber band" around randomly as I scroll when the shorts are dynamically removed from the feed.
