Would you like to engage in a polite and collected conversation about the YouTube Shorts UI?

perhaps the best feature of the enhancer for youtube extension

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Didn't work well for me, I just use a URL replacer extension that also replaces reddit URLs with my local RedLib

Don’t have a cow, man

You can take the video ID of a shorts URL and paste it into a regular video URL to open it in the less dogshit UI. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fxJicOO_dBw -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxJicOO_dBw

You could make a greasemonkey script that does this automatically.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Oh wow that's such a good idea. I'd probably still just continue not ever watching yt shorts since they are generally really bad but if I ever for some reason need to see one I'd love to be able to actually have video player controls on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I'll do you one better: just replace the "shorts" with a "v", and it'll redirect you to the video version as well.

Bonus: since the "shorts" part of the URL is between two slashes, double clicking it will mark just that part.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I have a ff plugin or script or something that does it. It’s the only thing that makes shorts bearable and usable

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Or how "watch later" is a playlist that I can't exit out of. I use watch later for hour long videos. I don't want them to auto play

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not even just the fucking UI. I have bad internet so it takes several minutes to watch a short, presuming jt ever works. And it's just shorts. A full video loads no problem, but a short requires so much to even try to start playing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just hate the fact that when I open the youtube app, it just starts playing a random short. I have to stop the short to go to the search field which is the reason I opened the app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I can strongly recommend not using the app, and just using a browser with ad block for YouTube mobile.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I suspect it's also frantically trying to preloaded a bunch of other videos.

On my laptop, the UI is unresponsive for a solid minute until it loads several pages worth of comments and videos down the right side. It's idiotic.

No thanks, I'll stick with the orIginal UI
