Description
| SHORT Table | (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Problem | Currently Shorts still show up in the right side suggested videos and there's a Shorts link on the left side as well if you remove shorts in the settings. |
| Solution | Make an option to remove both of these Shorts elements from YouTube |
| Alternatives | The only other alternative is that turning shorts off automatically switches these elements off as well. |
| Scope | I think any user who wants to remove Shorts from their YouTube will all appreciate this addition. |
| Side effects | People who want shorts wouldn't want this, but that's why it should be an option. |
| Context | I hate Shorts. |

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Shorts-removal setting and the code that controls the suggested-videos area and left-side Shorts link. Confirm how the setting is applied, then verify that both elements disappear when Shorts are disabled while remaining available when the option is off.
