I would pay for YouTube premium again if I could switch off shorts.

I actually stopped paying for premium to make YouTube less appealing.

Another technique is to turn off watch history. As soon as you do that, you get a blank page on YouTube. It puts the decision making on the user to choose what to watch. I rarely get into the rage bait or shorts. It’s shown in search results and the sidebar. But at least, it’s not in the face when you open the website.
