Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Might? It already has.
If shorts were simply a separate section of YouTube with all of its functionality, then that's understandable. But as they stand, shorts are just YouTube with both reduced functionality (forced vertical aspect ratio, no seek bar, time limit) AND all of the existing flaws (bad recommendation algorithm, reposted content, etc. )
Unless you are some kind of tech contrarian hipster, I don't think there is one thing that YouTube shorts does better than TikTok, or heck, Instagram Reels.
Plus no volume control so you often get instantly ear blasted
That's a mobile thing, it's because having two volume controls was awkward
