Same here with FreeTube. YT has become a toxic experience on any browser and recently it has stopped working on my laptop with Firefox and uBlock Origin, no matter if I surf it as logged in in my main google account or not. The same arrangement works on my main desktop, but i mostly use FreeTube there as well.
Adding that once one accidentally clicks on a short all the results are skewed in that direction afterwards. I have to close the browser, run BleachBit and start over.

I personally solved this by never clicking a short. We don't have to engage with every technology presented to us.
It is hard not to accidently click on shorts when they are interleaved in search results.
