There's uBO filters that fix it.
There's 3 CSS themes that fix it.
Yawn.

It honestly surprises me how they always find a way to make it even worse
It all started going downhill when they removed the dislike button
The last good thing they added was chapters with timestamps, but that was years ago

How do I sort by most recently uploaded

use vorapis, then you'll never have to deal with UI changes again

They should move the video in the centre and put suggestions and ads around it.
And the thumbnails should play with no audio for maximum annoyance and visual clutter!

Thanks. I'll try to copy over the original Reddit post you got them from as well, sorry for any formatting issues.

Solution #1:

The previous width was apparently 402px
And for me, based on screenshots taken with the previous layout, the thumbnails were at the same size unrelated to the width of the sidebar and the dimensions of the window: 170px

www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_secondary_max_width, 402)
www.youtube.com###related a.yt-lockup-view-model__content-image, #related ytd-thumbnail:style( width: 170px !important; )

Solution #2:

It seems that my screenshots match more a (max)width of 410px

www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_secondary_max_width, 410)
www.youtube.com###related a.yt-lockup-view-model__content-image, #related ytd-thumbnail:style( width: 170px !important; )

Solution #3:

CSS-only solution:
max-width: 410px and thumbnail width: 170px

www.youtube.com###related a.yt-lockup-view-model__content-image, #related ytd-thumbnail:style( width: 170px !important; )
www.youtube.com###columns:style( --ywfsw: var(--ytd-watch-flexy-sidebar-width); )
www.youtube.com###secondary.ytd-watch-flexy, ytd-watch-flexy:not([fullscreen], [theater]) #columns #secondary-inner:style( --ytd-watch-flexy-sidebar-width: min(var(--ywfsw), 420px); )

I don't remember ever being banned for it, but I do remember getting the classic "our system thinks your post is spam" over and over when trying to link to Reddit, sometimes even just mentioning it by name.

Devils advocate: maybe it was for all the mobile users with smaller phones?

They look the same to me.

>>108048902
they perfected the design ages ago

this shit keeps happening just to keep the retarded UI daycare adults employed

>>108048902
bro I don't give a shit just toggle on theater mode with T

>>108049885
They're A/B testing it. One second they look normal, the next they look huge. Then back to normal.

>>108048902
>>less suggestions shown
fewer suggestions shown. they are countable
less of the screen is correct because the amount of screen is uncountable (if it were pixels, it would revert back to being countable, so you'd have to say "fewer pixels")

>>108049880
why apply it to the desktop layout when there's the apps for mobile

I hate that Youtube keeps recommending the same shit over and over.

>makes the font size illegible tiny
>vid thumbs still too big

just shut the fuck up

If youtube has a TV app why are they changing the desktop website for TVs? Why aren't they making something like youtube.tv.com instead of changing the default desktop youtube experience?

>>108048991
playing the video at 2x speed by holding spacebar or the LMB was good
but yeah I generally agree with you

>list view is now gone from Subscriptions
Yeah fuck this, that's literally the last straw for me to use that shit site. There's been a lot of retarded changes over the year but that takes the cake. I could deal with the gay shorts, I could deal with no dislikes, I could deal with home page being shit, but whoever made this change should put a barrel in their mouth and pull the trigger. Only a dumb niggermonkey could come up with such a horrible UI and only a stinky pajeet could greenlit such a change.

for me the worst part about this update is that they removed the list view for the subscriptions page, now you're forced to use the stupid fucking grid view
it isn't even a good grid view because each thumbnail takes up like 30% of the screen

>>108048902
I don't care for the UI. As long as I can download the videos, I will use YouTube. Once they make it impossible, I won't.

List view is still here.
As for the grid view just use:
>youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important;)
You can change it from 6 to anything you wish depending on your resolution, 6 looks fine for me on 1440p.

Try adding

At the end of the subscriptions page url, should load you directly into the list view, if it doesn't then rip ig

>>108052152
yeah i already saw that reddit post and it doesn't work

>>108049885
They're A/B testing.
You got put into the stable-version cohort.

>>108048902
Sometimes I get 2 rows of recommended videos.

>>108052193
A two-column sidebar of related videos is also one I've seen earlier today.

>>108052158
Guess you're their testing rat now or w/e the saying is, sorry anon.
Maybe if enough people riot or something they will revert it back (they won't).

>>108052188
>schitzo babble

My subscriptions feed is now sorted by "Most Relevant" (not newest), followed by shorts

This is the line, they have crossed the line

Every single time there's a thread about any Google product testing something fucky there are at least 20 replies pretending they don't know what A/B testing is and that Google uses it for literally everything all the time.

>>108052230
Are you seriously unaware of the fact that YouTube is constantly A/B testing stuff? They spent like half a year or more constantly reverting the video player UI back and forth.

why don’t you just stop using youtube? It’s pretty much all slop videos and they use the algorithm to try to manipulate you
but you could just
not
go
to
youtube
You can apply the same method to just about any other website that is enshittified
You “need” email, and maybe your local gov’ts website to pay your taxes, but pretty much everything else on the internet is just worse than simply not doing it
