Shorts (as a format) aren’t the problem, it’s what you watch. If you train the algorithm to serve you garbage, then of course it’s gonna serve you garbage ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Search is unusable because of shorts. Also I want the ability to turn them off.

Shorts as a format are a problem, infinite scroll is just too addictive and having a format that encourages grabbing your attention in the first milliseconds even more than normal videos drags quality down

Does this mean I will have to scroll even more if I want to go to a specific channel I am subscribed to? All i want on the left is History and the list of channels I am subscribed to.
Just use RSS to follow specific channels.

we're making updates to better match how people discover trending content today by shifting away from one all-encompassing Trending list towards category-specific charts that we’ll continue to invest in over time.
Could that be the first actual improvement in years?
I'm sure they're gonna replace it with something even more asinine but my god, the trending page was always just a cesspool of the absolute worst content on YouTube (with a few exceptions every now and then).

I spend hours on YouTube every single day and I have no clue what a "trending page" is.

I worked at YouTube and use it constantly. I knew about it. But I just never used it. Because it was always garbage.

I literally never watch shorts. I’ve selected the option to show less shorts on my computer, I select the not interested option on each individual video on my TV when the row of them shows up, and they still constantly come back.

Freetube does this really well

Good. Can my Watch Later list please be the most important item I see when I go there?

I'm not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.

Get rid of Shorts.
Use browser plug-ins and revanced.

Great, trending videos are generally completely trash
Occasionally a video I like will get to trending and I'll question my taste in media.

When you're logged out the main page is blank. It's glorious. Thanks EU!

True. I know this person and they speak for every single person that uses YouTube.

Knowing Youtube they will start drizzling them into your search results instead or something equally terrible.

- Always check the Subscriptions page first
- Check Watch Later list, after that
- scroll the Home page, after that
Have never seen a link to a "Trending" page or a "Trending Now" list in any of those spots.

I use https://unhook.app/ and there's no trending page

I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I've still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.
All of that said, I did just check and it's way more difficult to find now. It's near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.

unhook is amazing, it blocked unrelated ragebait and tripophobic content randomly popping up on my searches
