They don’t even want you to use the website I don’t think. They’ve even done experiments where they blocked people from using the mobile website. The more they want me to use their app, the more I want to avoid Reddit all together.

    And they do it in the most abhorrent manner ever: No timeline, no way to rewind, and hold-to-pause. And people keep making minute long shorts.

    I like YouTube shorts. I hate youtube short’s format. For that reason, I removed the shorts and won’t get them back until revanced adds the playback controls YouTube doesn’t.

    Reddit will be worse. Their engineers can’t make a video player that doesn’t download all video qualities at the same time, on a wasteful format. Their shorts feature will follow suit, it’ll be uber garbage.

      I wonder if we’ll have the same discussion about Lemmy Shorts in ten years from now ;)
