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

      You can use the regular Youtube interface for shorts, I do it everytime I open one:

      1. go to a short video

      2. replace the /shorts/ part of the URL by /v/

      3. ??? (trigger warning: old meme)

      4. 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.
