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

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day 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.

Posy is my spirit animal.

This happened to me too and the Ublock filter fixed it. I dread to think of the day YouTube is made to be completely unfixable.

People gave Posy a lot of shit for his AI video.

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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 am once again recommending freetube

[–] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you haven't had enough reasons to use https://freetubeapp.io/, you seem to have found another one now

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

My issue with this is what others consider its strength.

I WANT a for you page. I WANT it to be synced across devices.

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 77 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

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

! Changing the amount of videos per row
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important;)

! Using full page width for video grids
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)

I have it set up for 6 per row but you can change the number to be whatever you want.

I love you, ty

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

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

Thanks!

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.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

I don't know why I'd go to youtube to watch tiktok reposts tbh

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And it's even more obnoxious with these gigantic thumbnails

[–] squigglycunt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] GnerphBaht@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

On my TCL Google TV I use Smart Tube. It has sponsor block and you can filter out shorts.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Let’s make em yuge

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Samdell@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Here's your occasional reminder to use FreeTube on your PC or Newpipe on your phone

https://freetubeapp.io/

https://newpipe.net/

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And SmartTube on your Android TV

I recently switched to FreeTube and am WAY happier, plus I can make everything purple.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Anyone else have the problem with newpipe that it simply doesn't work when connected to wifi?

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

[–] Samdell@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 day ago

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

iOS ain't friendly to any kind of 3rd party app

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.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can use this extension if you're affected

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Another good one is youtube enhancer extension.
And is it just me but does fucking everybody get that lofi girl channel reccomended?

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I got it once in a while

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

so many fixes, this is great

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, I've been enjoying NK and Synthwave musics a lot lately

I solved this problem by turning off watch history.

[–] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What browser are you using?

There's a fucking browser called Floorp?!

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, it's a Firefox floork where the main differentiator is vertical tabs, IIRC.

[–] SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Doesn't Firefox have vertical tabs now?

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

It does, yeah. I'm not sure if there's any advantages to Floorp's implementation or anything else that makes it preferable to upstream or a more shallow fork.

A FLOORK?????

Literal tears. I cannot stop laughing

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I don't really care about vertical tabs, I use it because it doesn't have any telemetry, smooth scrolling and general stability

You don’t remember the hit Star Wars character Floorp Shitto?
