Hey fedi, looking for some help that someone knowledgeable about web coding might be able to provide.

The old youtube style is still accessible by overriding the useragent to have your browser pretend to be a google bot. But when you do this, it breaks the show more button on video descriptions. We've found a tampermonkey userscript to put it back, but it only works if we refresh the page after loading a video.

What can be done to fix this?

Since this keeps getting boosts, I should add that this has been solved. I no longer need help.

Please, if someone puts out a request for help, unless it was posted moments ago, check the replies to see if someone has already solved the problem. I don't need more solutions.
