    In addition those short are infuriating to watch, because YouTube takes off most of the video controls. You cant turn on or of closed captions, you can’t jump back or forwards, or even fullscreen the video. Unless you embed it somehwere else. Proving that it’s a deliberate design choise from youtube to gimp the controls. And then people publish tutorials as shorts.

      The weird thing is, there are some shorts you can skip around the video, which means its coded in, they just refuse to put it in.

      Protip for when you do need to reference a short like that: just replace /shorts/ in the url with /v/ and it’ll be a standard youtube video, just in a vertical format.
