Unfortunately no, I’m not on android at the moment (much to my chagrin)
However, lots of people around here are super passionate about sharing exactly that information with people, and there’s a solid chance you’ll get an answer to that here if you give it some time. If not, or if you’d like to know now, you can always make a post about it somewhere like asklemmy and you’ll probably get lots of suggestions :)
Sorry I can’t help further with that one!
Have you considered a platform like freetube that allows you to fully block shorts?
I’ve been using it for ages now (desktop application, I use it on Linux, works great), but other platforms for watching YouTube without ads are also likely to have “distraction-free” mode where all that obnoxious shit gets blocked or turned off, like when I view a creator I’m subscribed to the -only- thing that comes up are full-length videos. No community page, no shorts, no playlists and follows, nothing but videos which is what I’m there for.
You also get the perk of blocking ads and sponsored segments, self promotion, etc. so very nice to use.
It does break now and then when YouTube updates, but they typically get it working again pretty quickly.
I used that “not a real person” face generation site to create a photo to sign up for the sake of curiosity and to see what the services were like in case I wanted to sign up for one for like friend matchmaking or whatever (not to catfish or anything, just don’t want my face all up in there), but after uploading the photo, then it started asking for an absolute gob of personal data and I noped out. Not worth it.
