I've heard the algorithms for YouTube shorts are much worse. Most people have said the best thing about TikTok is how well it learns the content you want to see.

Wrong. YouTube shorts ruined the app for me. No way to disable them.
Not even with parental controls.
I'm kinda OK with my kids using Youtube, but I don't want them getting sucked into the infinite pool of shit that is Shorts. But I can't block it even with parental controls.
There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.
Shorts, Instagram Reels and whatever Facebook calls its copy of it.
All of them are so bad it's not worth it.
