I have put some thought into this and my stack includes an assortment of Chrome extensions to observe the behavior I like.

- Hide Youtube Shorts

- Hide Youtube Watched

- uBlock Filter to remove Upcoming videos from the subscription page

- Unhook with most options turned on

I do the same for Twitter with the Just Arrived extension tweaked from gh.

What about mobile? I find myself scrolling on my phone a lot and I use a modded app because Android, thankfully. I feel like the best solution is to just delete the app, ultimately.

Yes, this one. No solution for mobile.

Interestingly, this is a non-hidden feature of YouTube itself; you can just close the shorts section of the page. Except that the setting automatically expires after some period of time, maybe ~1 month.

This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense; would you hide "heard" songs on Spotify?

The content I consume it's better one off (podcasts, informational videos etc.). If I need to keep anything on them, I store them elsewhere.
