    Posy is my spirit animal.

    This happened to me too and the Ublock filter fixed it. I dread to think of the day YouTube is made to be completely unfixable.

      My issue with this is what others consider its strength.

      I WANT a for you page. I WANT it to be synced across devices.

    I got this a while ago, it made me find the css variable and set it back. I have 5 across now, but could set it higher if I wanted.

    You still get a few gaps where the shorts would be, if I didn’t block those as well.

      Could you explain how to do this for the people (like me) who don’t know how I’d go about having the css changed automatically

        There are some other ways posted in the comments, but I used an Extension called Stylus and added the following to youtube.com:

        @-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.youtube.com/") {
    ytd-rich-item-renderer{
        --ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 5;
    }
}

    They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don’t care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.

        i think its better that shorts are all in one place in the TV app, so i easily ignore they exist with a single click i used to have to play minesweeper with my subscriptions before that

    There’s a ublock filter you can use to make them small again. I’ll post the code once I get home.

    ! Changing the amount of videos per row
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important;)

! Using full page width for video grids
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)
youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)

    I have it set up for 6 per row but you can change the number to be whatever you want.

    I got tired of large thumbnails long ago. For anyone already using Enhancer for Youtube, you can add the following to the custom script section:

    /* Add to Enhancer for YouTube's Custom script section */

;(function () {
    document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML =
        'ytd-rich-grid-row{display:inline-block;width:min-content;}div#contents.ytd-rich-grid-row{margin:0;}' +
        'ytd-rich-item-renderer{width:32rem !important;margin:1rem;}' +
        'ytd-video-meta-block[rich-meta] #metadata-line.ytd-video-meta-block{font-size:1.5rem !important;line-height:initial;}' +
        '#video-title.ytd-rich-grid-media{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:initial;}'
})()

      Any chance you’ve attempted or figured out how to block “premiering soon” posts? Useless garbage, YouTube is not for scheduling

        someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was “No”

        iOS ain’t friendly to any kind of 3rd party app

      I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

        The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT’s surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you’ll have to do it manually.

        It’s always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn’t work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it’s more consistent. I don’t know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(

    I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don’t know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn’t found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.
