    It’s all vertical video as well. YouTube pushes Shorts fairly aggressively on the desktop website, and it’s a crappy experience.

      Be glad Youtube still works on the desktop at all. A very large majority of users watch on their phones and YouTube only cares about profits.

          Yeah I’m one of the ten people who can’t stand watching videos on my phone. I draw the line at gifs.

        I tend to watch YouTube on my phone while traveling, waiting, relaxing and don’t feel like turning on the TV… but always in landscape orientation. I can’t stand vertical videos.
