Would you like to engage in a polite and collected conversation about the YouTube Shorts UI?
Best I can do is unhinged and passionate, take it or leave it
"Best you can do"? Nah mate, give me the worst

perhaps the best feature of the enhancer for youtube extension
Didn't work well for me, I just use a URL replacer extension that also replaces reddit URLs with my local RedLib
Don’t have a cow, man
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_dBwYou could make a greasemonkey script that does this automatically.
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 suspect it's also frantically 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.
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.
No thanks, I'll stick with the orIginal UI
