I’ve had to do this but miss recommendations now.

I don’t get shorts at all. They’re just such a bag of shite. Like at least reels and TikTok have decent content sometimes. YT shorts are always so crappy.

For me it didn't take long for the algorithm to zero in on what I find interesting and only show me that. Part of the reason I disabled history, I find shorts waaaay too addictive. I blink twice and two hours went by, no thanks.

Yeah Shorts seems to be the most filled with AI slop, its not even the funny/edgy AI slop. But mundane fake stories.
