I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

YouTube shorts feel like a weird attempt to enter a market that YouTube doesn't really fit. I understand the business philosophy behind it, but I wish they would prioritize improvements to their main services over their side projects.

The original idea for Youtube was "make your own tv shows" so it wasn't really intended for highbrow entertainment, infotainment, etc. Then they started promoting videos that were longer format, so the "watch my sister go splat trying to jump in the pool" videos got replaced by how-tos, unboxing, and explainers. Then tiktok came along and Youtube is trying to turn itself into "watch my sister go splat in 60 seconds or less."

It's sad that with the concentration of developers and creatives at their disposal -- not to mention the financial resources -- they can't innovate something beyond tiktok. Instead of tagging along after a trend and wind up looking like an old geezer dressing up like a 16 year old.

Unhook is a good Firefox extension to control Youtube's bs

Fix: use newpipe on mobile and invidious on PC

No algorithms, chronological order from subscriptions , no shorts

To get rid of Shorts without any extensions, this tip works for the mobile app, I presume it works for Web too.

Click on the 3 dots by a Short and select "Not interested" or similar. Repeat this until every Short in the section is gone. Now the whole section disappears and stays this way. It hasn't come back yet for me since I did this a few weeks ago.

I use Youtube via the channels RSS feeds. If there is a short I mark it as read and read on.
