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

    Fuck YouTube shorts. It’s infuriating that YouTube doesn’t provide us an option to remove all traces of that fuckin cancer from the platform.

      My biggest issue is so many of the people I sub that have shorts, the shorts are their normal videos but only a small clip of it. I dont want that, Im already watching the videos!

        Agreed. Some of the YouTubers I watch have said that YouTube is forcing them to make shorts because their videos won’t be shown to people if they don’t. A couple are even doing a bit of malicious compliance and taking the piss out of YouTube Shorts because they hate it as much as we do.

        If we wanted short clips, we’d be on TikTok damnit!

          Exactly. YouTube doesn’t want to lose out on that revenue/time spent on other platforms…

      Press the X? Gotcha! I’ll remove shorts for 30 days or until you come back without cookies in 10 minutes.

      I don’t mind YouTube shorts usually, although my TikTok feed is far better. But last week, my YouTube app started opening to the shorts tab. Infuriating. I’ll watch a short if it piques my interest, but that’s not what I’m going to YouTube for.
