I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

What I really hate about shorts is the lack of video controls? Do you really have to remove them, Google? Then there’s the looping videos that are cute when you first see them then get old and add nothing fast.
You can use the regular Youtube interface for shorts, I do it everytime I open one:
go to a short video
replace the
/shorts/part of the URL by/v/??? (trigger warning: old meme)
Profit
It’s all intentional. They know that overall it increases engagement and that’s all they care about.
Even Instagram and Tiktok let people fast forward videos. YouTube needs to get their shit together.
The zombie clicker demographic is their best customer/product
