This is on Revanced, lol. Not sure there is a plugin to remove that yet
Lol I’ve always wanted to be able to find videos that contain red, green or blue
Fortunately the other colors don’t interest me
Ah, a fellow "Cracking the Cryptic" lover, I see.

Sounds like you know the secret

Wtf
Gotta respect that
Quackery has gone digital, baby!
A coordinated effort to stop visiting them until certain features are included, or certain changes made would be glorious, however I just don't see it happening
There's a lot of basic config/features YT needs. I'm a paying customer also. (YT premium family)
Like as a simple example. I don't want to watch shorts. I can X the shorts bar away for 30 days at a time but it just comes back. Why can't I disable shorts in settings permanently? (I mean I know why)
I want to sort channel videos by date, oldest to newest because the content I watch is longer form and generally follows a timeline of events that I want to watch in order.
-
that is all but impossible without manually creating playlists and adding videos in the order you want (a real pita)
-
I cannot easily get back to watch the next video in that series. Doing the above helps, but there's no pick up where you left off. There's some BS continue the video you were in the middle of featuring paywalled in premium that I find mildly helpful but most times if I bail on a video I'm done with it I don't want a reminder/easy continue tile for it.
There's lots more around detailed searching...

I found myself frantically tapping on the x on your screenshot before I remembered I was on lemmy... I am still too angry at youtube (and myself) for the time I have wasted on shorts to try out anything new it suggests. Plus it tries to recommend right wing crackpot youtubers to me everybso often which is really annoying. /rant
