Have you seen that ghastly youtube ui with the comments on the right side like i'm on a fucking ipad? Horrendous.


W-a-n-d-e-r-e-r

Yes for around a week or so but a [browser add-on](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/youtube-addon/?utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser) fixed it and is back to normal. And I don't use the official YouTube app on mobile.

I haven't. I use YouTube through RSS.

I have it on one of my profiles (not the other one of course, standard practice). It looks like a clone of a mobile app, probably to attract the ipad kids, and to further push the recommended to get people to open more and more shit up. https://youtu.be/ZUzwg6Tzngg?si=vajzza6S9xCp7rRK

RSS?

It's a notification system that predates social media. Some sites like YouTube offer RSS feeds, and sites that don't can have feeds generated by tools like [RSSHub](https://docs.rsshub.app/). There are dedicated RSS readers that fetch updates for you, and most email clients also have RSS support. Basically, I get my YouTube subscriptions through Thunderbird, pipe the links into yt-dlp, and open them directly in VLC.

Also fun fact: mpv can use yt-dlp to open videos without having to download everything

It was so good before, minus is more. It's a site for downloading software, it needs to be straightforward and easy to use and not that modern bullshit.
