No way, then I’d have to actually pay people to fix stuff.

Now if shorts stopped working, id be good with that.

You might be, but the vast majority of the population would not like it.

Sure one could argue that the content is addictive and they shouldn’t want to view that stuff, but that’s a separate issue.

eh, there have been some education shorts I’ve seen that got me to subscribe to their YouTube channel.

I just want to have the ability to control the algorithm on my account so my recommendations don’t get clogged with low quality, spammy, rage bait videos

I know of at least one selfhosted alternative: https://github.com/chris-lovejoy/YouTube-video-finder

There may be others if you look around.
