I'm mixed on the shorts. I like it when they do a "you fix this by pushing this button here" in 15 seconds instead of it being 8+ minutes so they can get mid roll ads.
- robert_tweed 3y agoI'd be fine with shorts if they didn't disable the normal player controls.
- davio 3y agoAgreed. It's like a different video playing application popped up in the middle of YouTube. Also weird when you exits shorts, the previously watched long video starts playing.
- NoGravitas 3y agoYet another reason to use NewPipe or SmartTube rather than the YouTube app or the browser.
- bakugo 3y agoThe Youtube app (on android at least) now lets you use more of the normal controls (particularly seeking and adding to playlists) on shorts as of a few months ago. I thought the lack of those controls was intentionally permanent but I was relieved to find out it wasn't.
- worble 3y agoEvery time I view one I think to myself "I really should make a userscript that changes the '/short/' to '/v/' in the url" but I never view them often enough that this annoyance has manifested itself in action.

- Gigachad 3y agoTbh half of the instructional shorts are just flat out wrong and even dangerous. So many electrical advice videos showing awful tips and techniques. Comments full of people pointing out the problems but most people won't read them. They are created more for entertainment and to blast out as many videos as possible without any concern to accuracy.
