Blocktube and Enhancer for Youtube are Firefox extensions that can hide all of that shit completely. Mine has all shorts disabled, and I’ve removed the recommended videos panels from the right hand side & ends of videos, plus disabled any non-playlist autoplay. There’s still crap on the Home tab, but I don’t use that so I’ve never needed to look into ways to improve it, I just use the subbed tab and playlists. My YT shows me exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The Blocktube extension settings can be password-locked.
