Using Freetube or Invidious instead of YT official solved the Shorts problem once for good for me , amongst the other privacy issues and algorithmic jail 😅

Nice, I saw that the other day. I’ll give it a whirl.
Freetube is desktop only but exists in portable version for all OS
You can use our invidious instance for online use if you like, I will DM you the address if you like.
The only major downside to invidious is for some reason it won’t play all the copyrighted videos (official music vids from major labels, vevo , etc..) but apart from that it works like a charm 😌
Actually I spoke too fast, seems like YT literally just updated their code and both solutions have decipher issue today. Updates usually come quick though
