I use a little user script that redirects me from YT shorts URLs to a normal video player URL. I found that it adds just enough friction to getting the next video that just scrolling shorts for an hour doesn't happen anymore.

Added bonus is that you can rewind a bit of video if you want to, instead of having to watch the entire video again.

I used uBlock to completely remove shorts from my browser. I have been getting sucked into shorts as I am thirsty male :(.
