    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;}'
})()

    you know those small pictures we call „thumbnails“ well because … thumb … nail … and they are all made for exactly that size.

        This meme can have an entirely different meaning in reply to that comment. I chose to interpret it as the guy is taking a moment to look at his thumbnail before returning to the private discussion, saying “yeah, he’s got a point”.

          I really meant it in an antimeme/literal/sincere sort of way, but was too lazy to remove the top and bottom frames.

    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

          On my TCL Google TV I use Smart Tube. It has sponsor block and you can filter out shorts.

      The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

      Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

      All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.

    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.

      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;
    }
}

    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.

    I use dearrow so I don’t see custom thumbnails, just screen cap of a random time code in the video and I view YouTube through my subscription box only and have watch history off so the home page isn’t even available to me.
