I'm kind of at a loss at the route Youtube is taking. Not just with their obnoxious ads, but also them pushing shorts so hard. Like someone else commented you can use youtube-dl. On Android NewPipe (https://newpipe.net/ https://newpipe.net/) works with it. And as for the shorts... I ended up blocking the Youtube app on my phone (can't uninstall it..), those shorts just aren't good for the social media addiction I am trying to beat.

+1 for Newpipe. Not available in Playstore, but easily installable as an apk. You can disable or uninstall the stock Youtube app (or any app for that matter) through adb :- pm disable-user --user 0 com.blah.blah pm uninstall --user 0 com.blah.blah

  You can disable directly from Settings.

    It used to give me this option, but no longer does. The uninstall option is just greyed out on my OPPO phone.

      Uninstall it with adb.
