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 don’t get why everyone is so mad about this. When I saw it yesterday, I was glad they finally put them into a separate box I can just scroll past. Before, Shorts were just mixed in between the normal videos in the subscription feed and that was fucking awful.

      And before that, they were in a separate section like they are now, but it had a thing you could click to hide that section entirely for 30 days.

      Just because it’s less bad than the previous thing doesn’t mean it’s good.

        YouTube shorts are awful. Most of them are just incomplete YouTube videos.

        I don’t remember them ever in a separate section on the subscription page. Maybe it was just one of google’s A/B testing for some people or I just hid them immediately and forgot. :-)

      Would be better if it was possible to hide it, like in home feed. I don’t want to see shorts in my subscription feed. It takes so much space.

        I tested with ublock origin (firefox), removing the shorts section via adblock works.

      I actually liked when they were together in single box, everything was ordered from newest to oldest and I had extension that redirected shorts to normal player. With separated boxes I feel like there isn’t enough space and now the shorts don’t get the ‘watched red bar’ so I don’t know right away which shorts I’ve already seen, I’m forced to remember the thumbnails now which is annoying.

      I do wish they give customization options, so users can decide how to actually use youtube.

      oh they moved it finally? i couldnt stand a feed full of annoying shorts making it harder to find actual videos i wanted to watch. i been using an extension for a while and cant go back to what it was then. if at least they are confined to a seperate list its not so bad
