Don’t watch yt shorts and problem solved (it’s just TikTok and reels repackaged) that btw also saves you some braincells and attention span.
Do yourself a favor and get the extension Dark Reader and stop watching shorts.
Anyone paying any attention in 2010.
You can change the video url from “shorts/” to “watch?v=” if you want the standard format. Or use “Youtube-shorts block” which does it automatically. But the video will still be displayed vertically.
Youtube tryin’ to be like TikTok, haha!
It didn’t work

I’ve blocked shorts in Firefox/Ublock Origin. Absolutely no interest in them.
I don’t even see shorts recommended on my pc, but on phone there’s tons.
I’m guilty of watching them, too, especially those baldurs gate 3 ones
I pretty much refuse shorts, reels or Tiktoks.
I will never watch content like this. Instagram has always sucked for the same reason. Low res bad format crap quality content.
Yea that’s trashy and YouTube really needs to start doing better or another company needs to come out and take over.
Turn on Dark Mode on YouTube settings
Get the extension Hide YouTube Shorts
You’re welcome
i wonder why no phone manufacturer has decided to rotate the sensor
This isn’t even that bad. It’s the ones with terrible crop that’s even worse. But we shouldn’t be wasting our time these shorts anyway. I’m guilty of it from time to time as well and they can take a lot of your time and adds nothing to your life.
Hahaha not me
YouTube redux although it changes the CSS to ways I don’t like, it let’s me get a nice 5 column wide home screen, with YouTube shorts and whatever other junk YouTube wants to throw at me hidden.
Even if I didn’t have it on I’d use unlock origin to hide the shorts and its already hiding banner popups. Like I’m watching on an account with premium, and I’m still using an ad blocker to block the junk YouTube shows me on their website.
And yeah unless you want a tik tok style feed on your phone just don’t look at the shorts, most of the time they’re cut down versions of full length landscape videos that are actually worth watching.
who thought, in 2024, you’d still be using light mode.
Damm, the attention span these days is so low that a minute long video file qualifies as a “video” and not a “short”.
Don’t watch shorts. Disable them in your YouTube app as well.
Made in America Youtube bribed the US government to eliminate the TikTok competition to put out this shit, but still won’t fix their POS search function where it spits out 2-6 relevant search results before it gives video recommendations that nobody asked for.
I despise the TikTokification of Youtube.
Because people couldn’t be bothered to take half a second to turn their phones into landscape, we got here.
There is a Firefox extension that redirects YT Shorts links to the normal player – so you can actually pause and adjust volume, like a normal video player should.
tiktok was the worst that could happen to the internet
I don’t
It seems you’re the only degenerate that does this. If I’m gonna waste some time watching YouTube/Instagram BS I will be only using a 3rd of my screen. SMH
The real crime here is the white mode
