You can disable them in Vanced and Revanced. NewPipe either disables them by default or doesn't even support them, which is fine with me.
None of those apps are the original and official app. Which is pretty obviously what this was about. I used to use Vanced and it never worked as easily as everyone seems to imply, and I never could get it to cast. Vanced is no longer available on the PlayStore btw, and the same can be expected for every app that tries to offer YouTube content, modified.
Right, well, it seems like you don't want solutions and would rather just whine about something.
The solution I used is to pay for the service that removes ads and scroll right past shorts, ignoring it. Let me guess, google should provide you that infrastructure for free?
