I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

      No, it happens like a cold call when I haven’t opened the app all day.

        I don’t experience this and I’ve never heard anyone else claim to experience it you positive that you’re forced quitting the app?

        Revanced-extended has a patch for this (see disable-shorts-on-startup here)

          How do I do that?

            1. Download YouTube version 18.25.40 (nodpi) but don’t install it. Here’s one place you could get it.
            2. Download ReVanced here and install it
            3. Add the Revanced Extended patches:

            1. Go to the patcher (at the bottom of the screen) and follow the instructions. Make sure you select the YouTube APK file you downloaded previously from storage. Enable at least the “Vanced MicroG support” and “Disable Shorts on startup” patches. There are also patches for disabling ads, shorts, showing an estimated but accurate dislike counter (“ReturnYouTubeDislike”) and automatically skipping sponsored segments (“SponsorBlock”)
            2. Click “Install”
            3. Download and install Vanced Manager (it’s discontinued, but you can get it here)
            4. Fire it up and use it to install Vanced MicroG
            5. You’re done. You can now uninstall all the apps you installed except Vanced MicroG and YouTube
