I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

    They also still seem to run user-testing on hiding these sections for 30 days. I had this option a few months ago, then it vanished and today it was back again. Maybe enough people are still actively hiding it so that YouTube still doesn’t fully commit to shorts. Let’s hope it stays that way, they are annoying and I couldn’t care less about another Instagram cat video algorithm.

      I’d be open to trying shorts but the video player is intentionally awful. No volume control nor the ability to rewind. Why!?

        Yeah, I don’t like shorts but it would at least have been tolerable with a seek bar.

          TikTok seems to arbitrarily decide if a video has a seek bar or not.

          I’m really not sure why they do that. Revanced has a patch for TikTok that puts the seek bar on every video.

      For me the hide option only appears on the home page version of shorts. I’m stuck with this shit in my subscription feed
