uBlock Origin can also get rid of Shorts in Youtube, as well as the hover-play functionaliy, and annotations on videos.
Just paste this into your uBlock Origin settings/myFilters:
```
! Kill YT Shorts
youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer
youtube.com##.html5-endscreen-content
youtube.com##.html5-endscreen
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element
youtube.com###video-preview-container
annotations_module.js$script,domain=youtube.com
/endscreen.js$script,domain=www.youtube.com****
```

Does that kill just shorts or everything you mentioned in your comment?

I thought hover play functionality can be turned off in youtube settings? But as I was typing this, I realised it's useful for non logged in youtube, I assume.

Huh. I love shorts. I have a curated YouTube account that shows me very interesting shorts about science, music, gaming, comedy, PC building, web development, tech news, etc etc. I wonder why people don't like shorts. Using YouTube without being logged in?
