Windows 10 is dead; long live Windows 10

Remove Shorts from YouTube RSS feeds

RSS ain't dead yet, and some of us weirdos use it to keep track of our favorite YouTube channels. Unfortunately, the default RSS feed is full of junk: littered with Shorts and livestreams (active or past), making it quite annoying to sift through to find the proper videos for which we wanted to "subscribe" in the first place.
