It's just a conveyor belt of bs. I can't disable comments, chat, etc. I don't care about uploading shorts. I'm tired of constant redesigns or moving things around. I just want to see videos related to what I search for or channels I'm subscribed to.

I instantly feel like I'm capital to be maximized rather than a respected user when I open YouTube.

Edit: While typing this they felt the need to use a push notification for some breaking news video. Add it to the pile of bullshit.

Comments under video are just a thin 50px tall bar, just don't click on it? Just like you don't have to scroll down on the web. Just fullscreen and watch your video.

> I don't care about uploading shorts

Then don't press the shorts button?

> I'm tired of constant redesigns or moving things around

I don't think youtube gets that much redesign. On android, the biggest recent changes are dark mode (optional), making comment section smaller actually, and the chip filtering system.

> I just want to see videos related to what I search for

Then use the search button, it does just that

> or channels I'm subscribed to.

There's a tab dedicated to subscriptions, and it only shows chronological order of videos from your subscriptions, nothing else. You can also filter by a specific channel, or by tags such as (today, unwatched, etc).

> a push notification for some breaking news video

All notifications can easy be blocked, either at the app or OS level. Takes 3 clicks.

Saying something like "just don't click on it" to someone who has opinions about a dopamine farming enterprise is like putting a cake in front of a morbidly obese person and telling them "just don't eat it", or putting some victimhood story in front of a redditor and telling them "don't re-assure them it wasn't their fault and they're not alone". You may be right, but it's not very effective is it?

I'll stick with NewPipe or nothing.
