Maybe later... how about never, you fucks?
It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won't let people say "no" to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new "features", only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They'll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn't really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

YouTube Revanced is the way (Android). Just disable shorts or anything else you don't like and live happily ever after.
Is it a little more finished now?
When the original vanced got stopped, I could never get the patcher for revanced to work on my phone, and it wasn't even clear what the issue was. just a lot of errors and glitchy youtube.
I've just beeing using firefox with ublock, but its not very convenient.
If it's not, NewPipe still works like a charm
Yes, I've had a better time with it since then. I also couldn't get it to work initially but now I've used it on two phones and it works fine. The trick is to use a slightly older release of the YT apk.
From my experience, yes. The initial setup was kind of annoying, but it's been almost entirely smooth sailing from there.
