I was spammed with those when shorts started. It took forever but I finally don't have those suggested anymore. As someone else posted, once creators I follow started doing shorts, those appeared as suggestions and took over the feed.

IT'S NOT CORN! IT'S CALLED A THIRST TRAP I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, UNEDUCATED PIG!

From the image, I have seen 3 of them on my youtube homepage.
It's such a distraction while you are browsing for videos... Recently I have been trying this extension to block off shorts. I think it works for the most part.
Hope this helps someone.
Are you using the app? Are you logged in?
Ask yourself why, then log out, delete the app, and go watch on a browser without logging in.
Or if you have to use an app, try Smarttube or something similar. Without logging in.
