thanks. this is very helpful.
i can't stand the shorts format. it's like they took all the things about tiktok that make sigh when my sister sends me a tiktok link, and inserted all those bad UX concepts* into youtube.
i prefer to watch stuff on a desktop instead of the phone, especially when watching junk on the phone tries to completely hijack the phone interface. like every once in a while i have to open the YT app to get the link so i can paste it into newpipe and it reminds me why i hate the YT app even when it doesn't play ads.
