> Can i deactivate them? no..

Sure you can, just click the "x" on the top right of the shorts row and they will be gone. Though, you might have to re-hide them every x days, but still if you don't want to watch them you really don't have to.

This is exactly not what i want. I do not want to 'x' it constantly and no just because i x it doesn't mean that the Tab in the YouTube App disappears

I lost the 'x' a month or so ago. Especially for the Shorts banner at the top of my recommended feed.

There is no “x” atop the Shorts row for me.

the best I could do was a ublock filter to hide them.
