How do I disable this unnecessary garbage?

Waste of data, waste of space, waste of CPU!

Please add this as a safety option for photosensitive users as I was hit with a strobing/rapidly flashing light from a video on the search bar, which I am supposed to avoid and there seems to be no way of getting rid of it except to avoid search entirely. All the other apps I use have a reduced motion/disable autoplay option which I have to turn on to use them safely.

No. Does that sound like the issue described to you? Three separate rapidly flashing videos appear every time you click search on the phone app. This does not happen on my tv. This is extremely annoying and potentially disorienting and harmful. It is baffling why anyone thought this would be a well received " feature," and not having an option to remove it is **bleep**ING LUNACY. I cant believe this happened and has not been addresses and solved.
