      Uninstalling that app was a game changer…so much better on browser with unblock origin running.

        Fr if something works in browser I will never use the app.

        Some exceptions for things which require better encryption.

        I sign out to view shorts, clear site data, then manually search a couple of “seed” videos I like to get the algorithm picking out new stuff.

        It won’t even show you anything unless you have some viewing history. It’s just straight up broken for people who have had accounts for many years.

      I don’t get Shorts. I can’t watch them on my PlayStation, if I click on one on the phone app it’ll disconnect the PlayStation and force me to watch it on my phone.

      If you try to upload a video that is less than a minute long, it forces you to do Shorts.

      I also don’t get why opening up a community thread or something pauses the video I’m watching on the PlayStation.

      I’ve also noticed lately that when I connect the phone app with the PlayStation, about 30% of the time, the video will play extremely slow without sound. I have to close and reboot the YouTube app on the PlayStation to watch anything afterwards.
