I don't have a solution for you but yep this is the new and "improved" widget. Nothing wrong with your phone :(.
$2500-3500-ish, versus $3500-5k new. Steeper discounts on fully optioned models.
Saved you a click. Looks to me like deprecation is not all that dissimilar to that of optioned out Macbooks.
Did these really improve literacy rates? I thought pencils existed for a long time before them.
Saved you 7 minutes and 39 seconds of your life
I've never had issues like that myself
Steel series Rival 500. Highly recommended. I got it specifically because I wanted as many buttons as possible but in an actually ergonomic to press layout vs trying to feel out the numbers in a numpad layout. https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-500
You can rest your thumb on a spot in the middle that looks like a button but isn't and you can also lock out the 2 bottom buttons below your thumb with a physical switch if they get in the way

AMD AntiLag+ vs Nvidia Reflex - turns out not only does AMD's solution trigger anti-cheat, but it also offen increases system latency.

Science + Technology
-
Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.
-
Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He's also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.
-
NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he's not that great at.
-
Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.

Valve needs to hire this person, my god. Love that they seem to really understand what users do with steam instead of just looking at it from miles away, removing every feature + calling it a redesign.
Steam's UI has long been the worst part of using Steam for me, to the point that I actively avoid using any steam features I don't have to. While they've made small parts of it prettier over time, figuring out how to do anything you haven't done before is difficult, there's clutter all over that makes information like reviews harder to scan, and to top it all off, every single page has a different UI I have to figure out.
Since this is built into the OS, your only options are modifying the app or modding the OS, neither of which are things I'm well versed in but here's some stuff that can get you started if you're feeling adventurous:
Modding the app: The way these actions work is android apps add a line in their manifest that registers them as handlers for "ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT". Article on this.
I'd imagine you'd want to try and find a way to remove that registration from the app's manifest. Couldn't tell you exactly how but I know ReVanced lets you mod apps other than YouTube, so it could help with that?
Modding the OS: Since it's built into the OS. If you can find the code that handles text selection actions, you could start with a custom ROM and add your own code that disables that action. Maybe even build a UI around it to help others with a similar complaint?!
Since nobody in the comments is being helpful I figured I'd do a little research for you. The TL;DR is apps can just put ads on your text selection any time they want + there's nothing you can do about it. At least on my phone, the ads are hidden in the overflow menu so I hadn't noticed them until I saw your post + checked in there. Perhaps on your device they show up because you have a wider screen?

Got a Sony Bravia OLED and it's set up as a dumb TV, turns on instantly + I never see the Smart TV UI, not even a logo.
What I did was decline everything at setup, hook up to the Internet via Ethernet once to update, unplug Ethernet and set it to turn on to last input.
