if your on firefox or one of its clones, firefox can auto run javascript scripts to remove shorts with the extension Greasemonkey, scripts can be found at 'the greasy fork'. there is also a decent youtube abdroid app called litube which can be found on f-droid which has a built in option to remove shorts (among other great options)

it should be a surprise to no one that a company whos OS and office tools funnel all 'user data' back to American data centers for 'profit', cant promise it wont funnel data back to american data centres
