Not just Classic Expanded. All "Classic" options are affected in Appearance->Details.

hi! @alidan @Taizunz YouTube had both descriptions for a long time now (classic was/is just invisible. You might be able to get the old one still with ImprovedTube, when logging out, using another computer or incognito mode. And it could help this project if somebody can post latest changes along with the DOM they get)

  • [ ] Now we could build a replacement through modifying the new one
    • or rather just mimic the old one's advantages?
      • [ ] do you want to see the date right below the player?
      • you can already remove the subscribe button below the player or modify (grey/transparent).
        • [ ] there we can also add an option to show it in the different/historic position.

More surprised about your screenshots: first shows 751 thumbs up only, second shows 0 thumbs up and 13 thumbs down?

the thumbs down showing a number has been broken for a long time, the new view expanded apparently shows downvotes, loading it up again, I can see the likes are at 1k but downvotes are unavailable.

i'm guessing that screenshot 2 just never loaded the thumbs up.

mostly I hate change for change sake, and I hate change for mobile first design, and youtube has pretty much been nothing but this for a long time.

hi! @eggnoggins do you look for a full replacement or just classic position of the date and subscribe-button? (and did you notice anything like #1809 )

ImprovedTube avatar Oct 29 '23 08:10 ImprovedTube

full replacement, yes. and no I am not experiencing that issue.

same issue with me. As of #1809, i am using youtube premium so i have no issues for ads. I am using 4.4.0.1 with microsoft edge.
