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

    God, Youtube has gone to shit lately.

    Lately in this context, meaning about the last 15 or so years.

    You can hide segments like that with ublock, fwiw. It’s been really useful to me for these kinds of changes every single website seems to be pushing these days.

      I dont know where I have it from (I think somone on reddit posted it), but I use this in the uBlock Origin Filter since 8 month and it removes all my shorts from the subscription:

      It will sure break in a couple of month again. It did 8 Month ago and I am sure YT will change the code again at some point.

      I do not trust having to many FF Extensions installed from some rando from the Internet, so I like this solution better.

        I don’t mind shorts so much but Enhancer for Youtube has the ability to convert shorts to regular videos or hide them.

          But the Videos are still only 1 Minute long. I find them a disgrace for my attention span. Before shorts/tiktok people were already arguing how deep a video of 10 Minute really can be and might be giving only a shallow idea of a topic. Going even further down to 1 Minute per topic is too much (less) for me. I prefer videos 20 Minutes+. Mostly 45-60 Minutes hit a decent spot for me to feel like I learned something about a topic. A couple of days ago I watched a 2-parts video of 6h and 5h (over several days) about the Russo-Japanese war. And even that was skimming over a lot of topics (obviously) but afterwards I felt like I understood something. I dont know how a 1 Minute short can transport anything other than just “a feeling of knowledge” - at this point it is basically just entertainment. I already felt 10 Minutes was snack-infotainment short. 1 Minute clips leave me behind like eating candy for dinner: Very unsatisfied. And maybe that is the reason people then click the next tiktok/short, because they actually do not feel satisfied by such a short clip and have the feeling for wanting more. And they satisfy this “more” by switching to another 1-Minute video. Again getting the feeling of more, yet getting less in the end of the day.

    Youtube is so aesthetically and functionally unappealing nowadays, I lose interest in browsing even my own subs. I don’t care what users “like me” are watching nor what I “might like”. The only way to see my subs vids is with Piped.
