I've created an extension to remove Youtube shorts from appearing in the subscriptions page
It is a very simple extension; all it does is add a CSS file to hide the shorts. I doesn't collect any kind of data, or anything like that. The whole thing is open source, you can view the code here. Let me know what you think.

YouTube's ban leads to a record number of users uninstalling their ad-blockers
> https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
I'm trying out alternatives fadblock seems to work well enough so far, but this is enshitification.
If it comes to it I'll migrate over to using yt-dlp or disregard YT entirely and find somewhere else. I believe others feel similarly. Ads are not acceptable to me.

A (better) alternative to ublock or other content intercepting adblockers, Fadblock
Fortunately, nothing breeds innovation like war, and a new type of adblocker has been born, Fadblock. Fadblock does not block ads from loading, like uBlock, but rather tricks youtube into thinking they've been played, and it does so in a very clever fashion - by playing them... at 10,000x speed (with no audio). This effectively skips ads and the video loads instantaneously.

YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
It's definitely pretty tricky to try and even come up with statistics.
ublock was having issues early on, that required a laundry list of things to do to make sure youtube couldn't detect that something was up. I don't know if this has changed or not.
So rather than troubleshoot, what I did was turn it off on yotube, and install https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock, which isn't 100% perfect like the original ublock experience, but has been very durable against google's efforts.
Google may or may not believe they were successful in my case, depending on what they are looking for.

YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge
This thing seems to work pretty well: https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
Instead of actually blocking the ad elements, it just auto-forwards the videos to the end once loaded. Slightly jankier, but much harder to detect.

YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin
This all seems over-complicated.
Why not just use fadblock?
https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
It doesn't need to be updated in this cat and mouse game. it just skips the ads in milliseconds and you don't even notice them.
