What about getting addicted? I'm a bit concerned about this, because I had to fight a terrible addiction to YouTube (in general, but also shorts) a year or so ago. Twice.

@ilikecats We're aware of this issue, and working on a few potential solutions.

That's great to hear!
The most important for me is having a scroll bar or some way to control the video (rewind/advance).

The way Shorts is implemented, if you want to know how a video ends, you need to wait, and if you've lost a frame you have to start over and wait.

Watching in a passive way like this, at least for me, contributes to this "accept whatever comes" behavior and to doomscrolling.
