Shorts on the front page is fucking stupid, no arguments there.
But shorts in the subscription feed is kind of what I want? If I am subscribe to a channel, it is because I like their content. By having it in the subscription feed, I can see if a clickbaity thumbnail or title is an I Did a Thing video or a right wing lunatic who genuinely wants to throw saw blades at children.
And if your feed is full of too many shorts? Maybe prune some channels from your subscription feed?
