Yeah youtubes attempt at being tiktok is just awful and they don’t even have options to not have shorts show up in the feed. On top of shorts just being inferior versions of regular videos without functional controls

This is what gets me. Wanna show me shorts? Ok. But why the fuck am I not allowed to rewind a couple of seconds if I want to? It’s an artificial, completely useless limitation that had no place in 2023.

So, no thanks.

For what it’s worth you can replace the “short” in the url with “watch” to get the old interface back.

There are obviously also extensions/userscripts that do that for you and convert all shorts into regular videos.

They’re not even doing a good job at cloning TT. You’ve been able to seek in TT videos for a long time now lol

Most of my browser addons are aimed at making YouTube usable. Hiding shorts is priority one
