Depends. It's a good alternative when you don't want to follow people on TikTok. Hank and John Green do shorts, there's a Maine lobsterman who does great shorts, there's a couple of people who do very funny Heaven/Hell skits...
If you use Ublock you can use this filter to clean Shorts from Youtube (FTR you only need 2 lines near the bottom that have the word 'short' in them, but Lemmy formatting is balls so it's all or nothing):

YouTube Shorts is a blight on humanity. It is even more sinister than TikTok. No joke. Glad that you can add an extension to block the YouTube "shorts".
Ok don't get me wrong (fuck shorts, they're a terrible follow of a trend across so many platforms), but at least on mobile it seems like they're shorts from people I subscribe to 🤷♂️ so I'm cool with supporting the folks I subscribe to, I guess
This feels like an ad, I use premium and they should give us the option to hide it
Youtube is so aesthetically and functionally unappealing nowadays, I lose interest in browsing even my own subs. I don't care what users "like me" are watching nor what I "might like". The only way to see my subs vids is with Piped.
There really is no avoiding tic tok is there?
Even creators I used to respect started creating this adhd-friendly nonsense with 0 educational value.
I can’t imagine how someone born today is going to grow up to be a functional human being. All the big corporations are controlling every single little thing they see.
At first shorts were pretty neat, now they're the same shovel-ware from TikTok. I literally see copy/paste TikToks with the stupid follow animation every few videos, or subway surfer videos that progressively takeover the bottom of the screen with every short. Actual cancer now.
If you happen to use any user script extension already (like Violentmonkey) or don't want to use a dedicated extension to fix stupid design decisions, I can recommend https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/405614-youtube-polymer-engine-fixes.
