I'm so done with shorts I've added the whole shorts element to my adblocker.. you can't select the seeker bar in shorts, you can't autoscroll lol literally a retarded copy of tiktok with zero user experience functionalities

You can select it on mobile but it's super god damn glitchy and infuriating. I wouldn't mind shorts when they're helpful and jump straight to the point of how to fix/do something I'm looking up if it weren't for the garbage seeker bar.

If you need to you can always replace the shorts part in the url with watch to get the normal interface back.

Can this be automated?

there's probably already a tamperMonkey script out there, check greasyFork or something
