thing is, i'd proboably have forked over the money for YouTube Premium by now if my only issue with the YouTube app was ads. its not. the app is genuinely unusable for me if I don't apply the tweaks I need, especially the one to disable Shorts functionality.

rather than allow users to make these tweaks, google would go on a witch hunt for these apps because it would be unprofitable to allow users to avoid the brainrot that is Shorts, or the many another "features" they've bogged the app down with.

especially the one to disable Shorts functionality.

Fucking hell man, it's so annoying! Best is when you open the app and it automatically starts on the shorts tab blasting some insufferable video.
