There's a little hidden button on the Shorts pane that you can see when you hover it. It gives you the ability to hide them for 30 days if you click it.
They've started putting them in the recommended videos pane on the right when playing videos in a browser. Worst of all, they put it near the top and in a much larger cell than the rest of the recommended videos.
I watch YouTube mostly on my TV (using a Shield) so I don't think that would work for me.
But the Shield was specifically bought to stream.
