Comment on Youtube's web UX team is a joke.

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

  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

    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.

    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.

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

  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

  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.

    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.

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

    I suspect it’s alsonfrantically 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.

  May I interest you in an extension?

    No thanks, I’ll stick with the orIginal UI
