As a parent I really like googles family controls, all of it. Except ONE thing.. I cannot block or limit YouTube Shorts.

Whenever my daughter watches regular YouTube there's a good chance she might watch something creative or educational or something that ends up with her suddenly making something out of paper, or drawing or anything physical. Learning about something amazing and getting excited.

YouTube Shorts is just AI slop, and horrible content I wish never existed.

In general there needs to be a way to disable Youtube Shorts. It's a massive attention hole that preys on people in a very addiction forming way. Doubly so for people with ADHD, etc.

you can turn it off on a PC browser with an extension.

but yeah on a device or on the network no :-( I have the same complaint

Yep you can use extensions but tbh they are of varying quality and youtube changes their site so much in an attempt to fight adblockers that most youtube extensions tend to be really brittle.
