> also don't use youtube logged in

I find YouTube to be a much better experience when logged in. There is targeting in both cases, but it tends to be better aligned with what I want when I am logged in.

And I second the extension, I use "Youtube-shorts block" which also exists for Chrome. On the topic of YouTube specific extensions, I also recommend SponsorBlock.

At least for me, I find Youtube too addictive if it offers me an endless list of vidoes tailored to me. The repulsiveness of the default suggestions means I'm not immediately sucked in.
