Then I found this post that actually works. And the author is on Mastodon, thanks @kenzeh!

No Shorts Please! Hidden YouTube RSS Feed URLs
Introduction Playlist IDs All Videos No Shorts Credit Undocumented Introduction I consume quite a lot of content from YouTube, via their RSS feeds, and this was working fine until they added Shorts. I struggled to find a way to get the shorts out of my feed, eventually settling on scraping the YouTube API to query the video, and filtering out any that had a duration that was less than 61 seconds.
