Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

I fucking hate shorts so much. I completely blocked them:

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
