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

It's amazing how much YouTube doesn't understand what people do and don't like about TikTok

Watching every platform ruin itself to become a facsimile of every other platform is deeply infuriating and exhausting

I honestly can't figure out what anyone actually likes about tiktok. I installed it and after 30 minutes was annoyed with the autoplaying and having things just forced on me. I want to choose what to play. All the time, I hate anything anywhere that autoplays, and I don't understand how anyone actually enjoys that. Its like being told that being poked in the eye with a needle was really popular.

It feeds an anxious brain's desire for dopamine. Just "here's a nonstop feed of easy to digest content." I think it's kinda predatory, tbh, and that's not to get into anything else about the company
