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 wish they would give us a user setting to completely hide shorts from ever showing. I have never watched a short and I will never watch a short. It’s just not the type of content for me. If I wanted TikTok style videos, I would download TikTok. It’s crazy how much stuff YouTube tries to cram down your throat even as a premium subscriber.

Edit: also just a great example of companies jumping on a bandwagon to make a quick buck. YouTube is a well established video hosting and streaming service, they didn’t need to spend how every many millions of dollars adding shorts (not that they would have bothered spending that money on the user/creator experiences anyways)

I agree with you so much. The only time I ever click on shorts are accidents. I hate them. I don't use instagram, tiktok, anything like that. I don't want to see shorts. They are horribly crammed and well, way too short. Leave me alone and stop autoplaying on my tv.
