I wrote this little quick and dirty userscript for myself sometime back:

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name No Shorts
  // @match https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*
  // @match https://www.facebook.com/reel/*
  // ==/UserScript==
  window.document.body.innerHTML = ''
This isn't as comprehensive as the uBlock filter but it has worked pretty well for me so far.

Here is another one I found in my personal userscripts. I believe this script is more effective than my previous one because it prevents recommendations for Shorts or other videos from being shown.

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name  No YT Sidebar and Shorts
  // @match https://www.youtube.com/*
  // ==/UserScript==
  function noYTSidebar () {
    const element = document.getElementById('secondary')
    if (element === null) {
      window.setTimeout(noYTSidebar, 1000)
      return
    }
    element.getElementById('secondary').style.display = 'none'
  }
  function noYTShorts () {
    const elements = document.querySelectorAll('ytd-rich-shelf-renderer')
    if (elements.length === 0) {
      window.setTimeout(noYTShorts, 1000)
      return
    }
    for (e of document.querySelectorAll('ytd-rich-shelf-renderer')) {
      e.style.display = 'none'
    }
  }
  noYTSidebar()
  noYTShorts()
