   @EposVox Yeah, you can't even disable how it shoves the shorts in your face when you open the app, right? I couldn't find a way to do it.

     This is why YouTube isn't for creators like me anymore. Creators who want to help people, make entertaining and valuable content that people *look for*, etc.
     You search for something and you're bombarded with Shorts, ways to spend money, and even after a couple real search results you get "People also watched" (barely related) and then "For you" sections that aren't remotely relevant to the search results.
     Core functionality CANNOT be neutered for distracting goals or the whole thing is ruined.
