Can we get a 0-minute timer?

Everytime I tell Shorts to go away, YouTube tells me it will bug me again next month.

Unfortunately last time I pressed the ‘hide shorts’ button the text previously saying they would be hidden for a month now says they will be shown ‘less frequently’. Presumably that’s more frequently that once a month :(

I just use a unlock filter rule to not show them in the first place
