How do you block them? I keep pressing "show fewer shorts" but they keep popping up and I can't find an option to block them entirely.

Ublock + ff. in ublock select the eye dropper, move the eye dropper over the shorts section until you see the videos and the word shorts highlighted then click to block

In addition to what others have said, SmartTube has options to remove them on Android TV devices
