No one uses desktop

I uninstalled the YT app on my phone and use the desktop site exclusively now. Can’t stand watching without ad block and sponsor block.

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.

I already knew this but still what a terrifying prospect, I love my phone but there are some things a desktop is just better for

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

I’ll do football film on iPad or desktop. I’ll very occasionally do a video class format on one of those. That’s it. Anything else is going on a TV.
Games I love handheld, though, so IDK.

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.
