I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

Worse, they have started playing Shorts without my consent as soon as I open the app.

I don't feel fond of participating in mindnumbing TikTok worship.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

I prefer my own, different mindnumbing activities thank you very much.

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

That only happens if you close the app while watching a short.

[-] favrion@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No, it happens like a cold call when I haven't opened the app all day.

[-] damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I don't experience this and I've never heard anyone else claim to experience it you positive that you're forced quitting the app?

Revanced-extended has a patch for this (see disable-shorts-on-startup here)

  1. Download YouTube version 18.25.40 (nodpi) but don't install it. Here's one place you could get it.
  2. Download ReVanced here and install it
  3. Add the Revanced Extended patches:

  1. Go to the patcher (at the bottom of the screen) and follow the instructions. Make sure you select the YouTube APK file you downloaded previously from storage. Enable at least the "Vanced MicroG support" and "Disable Shorts on startup" patches. There are also patches for disabling ads, shorts, showing an estimated but accurate dislike counter ("ReturnYouTubeDislike") and automatically skipping sponsored segments ("SponsorBlock")
  2. Click "Install"
  3. Download and install Vanced Manager (it's discontinued, but you can get it here)
  4. Fire it up and use it to install Vanced MicroG
  5. You're done. You can now uninstall all the apps you installed except Vanced MicroG and YouTube

If you're on Android, I recommend NewPipe to watch YT. Otherwise, stick to invidious instances, like https://inv.tux.pizza

[-] favrion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But I don't want all gaming and programming content.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Invidious instances recommend stuff based on what you're currently watching. Just start with one video and go from there. The Featured page is probably based on what most people using said instance watch most.

Some instances don't even have a Featured page, just a "blank" search.

[-] favrion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What instances are there? How similar is this to PeerTube?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Invidious lets you watch youtube outside youtube. No ads, no tracking and some instances let you download the videos. You can use any watch?v=993939 link with any of the instances and it'll work. Example:

You can see a list of instances here https://api.invidious.io/

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=18PL6enCwh8

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
