I gave a grease monkey script to redirect shorts to watch. The watch?v= player works with shorts and you have a sane UI.

I expect that in 5-10 years, the Internet will be unusable without scripts and browser extensions

It’s already heading in that direction. As an example I only use the Slack web interface and have many user scripts to modify my experience.

I think the increased adoption of WASM will be a net negative for users.

I’m heavily opinionated on communication centric UX, it should work for me not the other way around.

I disallow all notifications, for example. I refuse to be forced into engagement..
