They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don't care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.

I don't know why I'd go to youtube to watch tiktok reposts tbh
And it's even more obnoxious with these gigantic thumbnails
i think its better that shorts are all in one place in the TV app, so i easily ignore they exist with a single click i used to have to play minesweeper with my subscriptions before that
On my TCL Google TV I use Smart Tube. It has sponsor block and you can filter out shorts.
Why can't they make mobile UI design and desktop UI design separate?
The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.
Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.
All this to say it's going to get worse and may never get better.
I got this a while ago, it made me find the css variable and set it back. I have 5 across now, but could set it higher if I wanted.
You still get a few gaps where the shorts would be, if I didn't block those as well.
Could you explain how to do this for the people (like me) who don't know how I'd go about having the css changed automatically
There are some other ways posted in the comments, but I used an Extension called Stylus and added the following to youtube.com:
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.youtube.com/") {
ytd-rich-item-renderer{
--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 5;
}
}If you haven't had enough reasons to use https://freetubeapp.io/, you seem to have found another one now
My issue with this is what others consider its strength.
I WANT a for you page. I WANT it to be synced across devices.
Posy is my spirit animal.
This happened to me too and the Ublock filter fixed it. I dread to think of the day YouTube is made to be completely unfixable.
People gave Posy a lot of shit for his AI video.
I am once again recommending freetube
Based music taste. 10/10
Thanks, I've been enjoying NK and Synthwave musics a lot lately
interesting kustomisation
Gotta love Plasma for allowing me to do it without much fuss
There's a ublock filter you can use to make them small again. I'll post the code once I get home.
! Changing the amount of videos per row
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important;)
! Using full page width for video grids
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)
I have it set up for 6 per row but you can change the number to be whatever you want.
I love you, ty

I got tired of large thumbnails long ago. For anyone already using Enhancer for Youtube, you can add the following to the custom script section:
/* Add to Enhancer for YouTube's Custom script section */
;(function () {
document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML =
'ytd-rich-grid-row{display:inline-block;width:min-content;}div#contents.ytd-rich-grid-row{margin:0;}' +
'ytd-rich-item-renderer{width:32rem !important;margin:1rem;}' +
'ytd-video-meta-block[rich-meta] #metadata-line.ytd-video-meta-block{font-size:1.5rem !important;line-height:initial;}' +
'#video-title.ytd-rich-grid-media{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:initial;}'
})()
you know those small pictures we call „thumbnails“ well because … thumb … nail … and they are all made for exactly that size.
Let’s make em yuge
This meme can have an entirely different meaning in reply to that comment. I chose to interpret it as the guy is taking a moment to look at his thumbnail before returning to the private discussion, saying "yeah, he's got a point".
I really meant it in an antimeme/literal/sincere sort of way, but was too lazy to remove the top and bottom frames.
Here's your occasional reminder to use FreeTube on your PC or Newpipe on your phone
I recently switched to FreeTube and am WAY happier, plus I can make everything purple.
Does anyone have any iOS alternatives recommendation ? I'm trying to get the family away from YT too, but they all have iOS for reasons
someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was "No"
iOS ain't friendly to any kind of 3rd party app
I will use it when google decided to block my adblocker, but for now I kinda need to use yt with my account and I like "mixed playlist" I discovered many great music with it
Revanced has a patched yt music app. No ads, background play, and I use the super mix playlist a lot.
Fo those that prefer Spotify, check out spotube. Available for phone and Google TV.

I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don't know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn't found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.
You can use this extension if you're affected
Another good one is youtube enhancer extension.
And is it just me but does fucking everybody get that lofi girl channel reccomended?
I got it once in a while

What browser are you using?
Floorp
That cannot be real
What?
There's a fucking browser called Floorp?!
Yeah, it's a Firefox floork where the main differentiator is vertical tabs, IIRC.
Doesn't Firefox have vertical tabs now?
It does, yeah. I'm not sure if there's any advantages to Floorp's implementation or anything else that makes it preferable to upstream or a more shallow fork.
