You used to be able to access shorts as normal videos even after they rolled out normal videos by using the original video link. Did they remove this?

- ajot 3y agoNo, in fact I keep a very handy redirect in Redirector for this specific usecase: { "description": "Youtube shorts to something useful", "exampleUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iB9KMNzNIZI", "exampleResult": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB9KMNzNIZI", "error": null, "includePattern": "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*", "excludePattern": "", "patternDesc": "", "redirectUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1", "patternType": "W", "processMatches": "noProcessing", "disabled": false, "grouped": false, "appliesTo": [ "main_frame" ] },
- TheFreim 3y agoNice! I had not thought of creating a redirect, but I have now added this. I currently filter out all short content but on the rare occasion that I get linked a short this will come in handy. Thanks!
- RulerOf 3y agoIs Redirector an extension?

- ajot 3y agoYep, available for multiple browsers and quite powerful in my opinion: https://www.einaregilsson.com/redirector/ https://www.einaregilsson.com/redirector/
- Aerroon 3y agoIf you open the comments section you can click on the date of a comment and it will open it in the regular video UI.
- megous 3y agoIt doesn't matter what I could. I did not make videos so that I can look at them myself. :) But nice trick for viewing other's videos.
