Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom

  There’s a ublock filter you can use to make them small again. I’ll post the code once I get home

    Works great, unlike the one I found on Reddit posted about a year ago.

    Thanks!

  I got tired of large thumbnails long ago. For anyone already using Enhancer for Youtube, you can add the following to the custom script section:

  /* Add to Enhancer for YouTube's Custom script section */
  
  ;(function () {
      document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML =
          'ytd-rich-grid-row{display:inline-block;width:min-content;}div#contents.ytd-rich-grid-row{margin:0;}' +
          'ytd-rich-item-renderer{width:32rem !important;margin:1rem;}' +
          'ytd-video-meta-block[rich-meta] #metadata-line.ytd-video-meta-block{font-size:1.5rem !important;line-height:initial;}' +
          '#video-title.ytd-rich-grid-media{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:initial;}'
  })()

    Any chance you’ve attempted or figured out how to block “premiering soon” posts? Useless garbage, YouTube is not for scheduling

  you know those small pictures we call „thumbnails“ well because … thumb … nail … and they are all made for exactly that size.

      This meme can have an entirely different meaning in reply to that comment. I chose to interpret it as the guy is taking a moment to look at his thumbnail before returning to the private discussion, saying “yeah, he’s got a point”.

  They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don’t care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.

    And it’s even more obnoxious with these gigantic thumbnails

    • squigglycunt@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      i think its better that shorts are all in one place in the TV app, so i easily ignore they exist with a single click i used to have to play minesweeper with my subscriptions before that

  Why can’t they make mobile UI design and desktop UI design separate?

  source

  • tempest@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

    Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

    All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.

      It's always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn't work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it's more consistent. I don't know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(

    I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

    source

    • Samdell@lemmy.eco.br ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT’s surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you’ll have to do it manually.

    Does anyone have any iOS alternatives? I’m trying to get the family away from YT too, but they all have iOS for reasons

      someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was “No”

    I will use it when google decided to block my adblocker, but for now I kinda need to use yt with my account and I like “mixed playlist” I discovered many great music with it

    • GnerphBaht@sopuli.xyz ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Revanced has a patched yt music app. No ads, background play, and I use the super mix playlist a lot.

      Fo those that prefer Spotify, check out spotube. Available for phone and Google TV.

  I got this a while ago, it made me find the css variable and set it back. I have 5 across now, but could set it higher if I wanted.

  You still get a few gaps where the shorts would be, if I didn’t block those as well.

  source

  • Kualdir@feddit.nl ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Could you explain how to do this for the people (like me) who don’t know how I’d go about having the css changed automatically

    • purplemonkeymad@programming.dev ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      There are some other ways posted in the comments, but I used an Extension called Stylus and added the following to youtube.com:

      @-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.youtube.com/") {
          ytd-rich-item-renderer{
              --ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 5;
          }
      }

  I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don’t know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn’t found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.
