Not even with parental controls.

I'm kinda OK with my kids using Youtube, but I don't want them getting sucked into the infinite pool of shit that is Shorts. But I can't block it even with parental controls.

There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.

I uninstalled the YouTube app too! Without the app, it’s easier to use YouTube more intentionally

yeah enhancer for youtube was a lifesaver

another reason i hate internet becoming predominantly app-mediated.

I have set up YT Kids account for a young relative and manually approved many channels and hundreds of videos. This is one way you can block Shorts, with the added benefit it’s no longer an infinite feed.

How feasible is YouTube Kids? Honest question.
