What did it for me was disabling my history (a setting). Consequently your YT homepage is blank and it doesn’t suggest any shorts. You can maintain a kind of history by liking videos or just via the browser itself.

Their changes are so bad that someone made a browser extension to jump straight to your subscriptions so you never see the homepage (my watch history was off already and I didn't like the homepage telling me to turn it on). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ytmysubs/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ytmysubs/ https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lfoephndcoilebphhdbmnbpikailpmpk https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lfoephndcoilebphhdb...

Why would you disable history?

  Without history Youtube doesn't know what you like and therefore can't suggest videos to watch on the homepage.
