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.
I prefer my own, different mindnumbing activities thank you very much.
That only happens if you close the app while watching a short.
No, it happens like a cold call when I haven't opened the app all day.
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-startuphere)How do I do that?
If you're on Android, I recommend NewPipe to watch YT. Otherwise, stick to invidious instances, like https://inv.tux.pizza
But I don't want all gaming and programming content.
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.
What instances are there? How similar is this to PeerTube?
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=993939link 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.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Interesting.
If you're on Android check out ReVanced. It lets you patch YouTube to disable shorts and even get rid of all ads, bring back dislikes, and sponsorblock. Just have to get an apk since it can't handle stock installs, and also microg_vanced for login. No root required.
What does any of that jargon mean?
ReVanced (manager) is the program name that creates changes in the YouTube program. apk is the android package format. Like an exe or msi file on windows it installs the program. Sponsorblock is an addon that uses community submitted timestamps for videos that tells it where sponsorships, music, intros, outros, subscribe reminders, etc are in the videos and can be set up to automatically skip them.
How do I set up the first one? I don't want the second one.
It's just an option given during the patching process. I'll send you a link to my private server so it's not hammered. It'll have all the files needed to get going. Let me just make sure to update it to the current versions.
All I want to do is stop shorts from playing when I open the app.
That was included in the patches. Disable shorts on startup.
I'm not a programmer if I haven't made that clear. I'd rather deal with the ads and sponsors and invasive shorts than risk exploding my phone by miscoding something.
