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 just hate how much functionality the Shorts player loses compared to the regular Youtube player. They seriously made their product worse to imitate a competitor? Who asked for this?

I swear that these board of director types are some of the most dense and out of touch people on the planet. It's crazy how we reward them for their stupidity in exchange for their unbridled greed.

I think the UX team is banking on user psychology. Majority of users don't want functionality, they want familiarity. They should feel like they are watching Tiktok.

We should remember that we power users are a minority in social media.

Checkout the Youtube-shorts-block extension which gives shorts the same UI as normal youtube videos.

Basically what the extension does is replace the parts in the URL youtube.com/shorts/"video-id" to youtube.com/watch?v="video-id"

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/shorts/

https://piped.video/watch?v=

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

And funnily, the shorts player on mobile has some of those features.

Who asked for this?

Either Susan Wojcicki (ex-YT CEO), Neal Mohan (current YT-CEO) or Sundar Pichai (Google CEO)

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm afraid it boils down to the significant amount of users, who asked or "asked" for this. Shorts is crazy popular.
