By far the best parental control feature ever made: the ability to completely block YouTube Shorts. Whoever on the product team thought Shorts was a good idea genuinely needs to be dragged outside & throttled.
It is ugly, addictive, useless tech that provides zero actual value.
The change in behavior with my dudes is something else. I wish Google made this the default and explained how dangerous shorts are.
