>removes dislikes entirely in shorts>UI in general becomes for simple and mobile like in each update>GIF commentswhy are they so obsessed with becoming tiktok
Because that's what the normogoy wants.
>>110117604Because TikTok is doing bigger numbers right now.
why did the jeets have to make desktop into phone app ? why not keep desktop as it was years ago and do whatever they want to mobile ? why are jeets like this ?
>>110117841Desktop computers are approaching obsolescence. The vast majority of people (and 99% of those under 30) browse the web on a phone or tablet. Maybe occasionally a work laptop, but that's it. You might as well be complaining that gas stations don't have a drinking station for your horse. Times change. Building websites primarily for mouse and keyboard navigation no longer makes logical sense.
>>110117944>Desktop computers are approaching obsolescence.if true then why bother to change it at all know I'm saying? fucking jeets.
what you call a phone is a tablet
I hate how big the thumbnails are now. It used to show around 6 per row on my old monitor (1680x1050). Then it became 5, 4, and eventually 3. Switching to an ultrawide (3440x1440) increased it to a whopping four. Yes, four. On a fucking ultrawide. I cannot understate how much I despise web devs.
>>110118171Finally someone says this. it's especially bad for videos on the side, the thumbnails are massive and completely unnecessary. Fuck this stupid bullshit
>>110118185Just for reference, this is what it use to look like
>>110117604Indian Hindu rape rats can never innovate, they can never create anything of value. They are parasites who are able to mimic some human behaviors so they can imnfest our civilizations to leach, groom, and rape. Why has Hindu infested India produced no civilization in it's entire history? Why has India produced no tech company or innovation that doesn't revolve around outsourcing despite having 2 billion of these "engineers"?Poo's Law of Tech: Whenever someone asks "Why [bad thing] in tech company?", the answer is always "Indian Hindu rape rats".
>>110118125Because the "desktop" site is typically what's served on tablets. Mobile sites just look ridiculous on a large tablet. So now "desktop" sites are designed primarily with tablets in mind, hence the larger thumbnails and such for easier touch navigation. Welcome to the future, old geezer.
>>110118171stylus script
>>110117604cause them damn Chinese can't invent anything and have to keep copying Americans. oh wait.
>>110118191beautiful
>>110117604Shorts are one URL rewrite away from normal videos.
I want old YouTube back, where you could rate a video, search history by newest to oldest and so on
>download Unhook extension>Hide Home Feed>Redirect Home to Subscriptions>Hide Shorts>Hide Comments (too many third-worlders in 2026)>Hide More from Youtube>Hide Merch, tickets, offers>Hide Explore, Trendingfixed it
>>110117604but how will shareholders profit if they had kept the site actually good?
>>110117604Google bought YouTube because it killed their video service.Google can't buy tiktok because the CPP will execute them if they try
>>110118171I'm using the mobile website on my desktop. Now I can see 6.5 thumbnails at once instead of fucking 2.5.
>>110119016Googlevideo was kino. I remember it as a YouTube alternative where you could upload videos longer than 10 (15?) minutes but I don't remember it having comments or a way to browse videos other than maybe a search box. I watched "Zeitgeist: The Movie" on there.
>>110117604>>removes dislikes entirely in shortsI cannot even see Shorts with my uBO filters.>>UI in general becomes for simple and mobile like in each updateUI looks good to me with my uBO filters.>>GIF commentsI don't see the comments with my uBO filters.Unbothered.
>>110117604Why are you watching shorts grandpa?
>>110117604In the URL, replace shorts/ with watch?v= to get the normal UI, including the dislike button. That also lets you post shorts here with embed.
>>110119849>ZeitgeistThat brings me down a memory lane. I kinda fell for it too for a while, because the overall message seemed to be good. But then part 2 came out and it just became an ad for that architect guy. Then the whole thing got deboonked by video essays.
>>110117604Because TikTok is peak technology, and if you're not copying it today, you'll become obsolete tomorrow. Instagram also copies TikTok now, it used to be a photo-centric app, now it's reels-centric.
>>110118171Then it'll be 2Then 1Then the video will autoplay
>>110117604>removes dislikes entirely in shortsgood. don't like something, don't watch it.>UI in general becomes for simple and mobile like in each updategood. that's what most people use. phone+tv>GIF commentslike every other forum and sites including 4chinz?
>>110117604>removes dislikesThis is how they protect their wildly unpopular ideologies.
>>110118171>>110118185>>110118191Download youtube redux and you can tweak all this shit and more
>>110117604why did they remove the Ask button? it was actually useful to filter slop without giving away views
>>110118171use a ublock script to fix it they already come preinstalled
>>110123946>good. that's what most people use. phone+tvThis might scare you anon...but you can serve a different website to desktop users.Wayyyy Craazy!!!! I know. Don't faint now.
>>110117604They're removing the dislike everywhere. It's still there but you have to click on the three dots.
