This is true. Many people I know have uninstalled TikTok because it is too addictive, but no one ever does that with YouTube shorts.

Wrong. YouTube shorts ruined the app for me. No way to disable them.
Not even with parental controls.
I'm kinda OK with my kids using Youtube, but I don't want them getting sucked into the infinite pool of shit that is Shorts. But I can't block it even with parental controls.
There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.
