Notable mention to !cybersecuritymemes@lemmy.world
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I instead installed an extension to force shorts to play as normal videos. Some channels have shorts worth watching (imo), but this prevents endless scrolling through short after short, I have to intentionally choose to watch them by clicking on the specific thumbnail, every time.
I find it a decent compromise.
whats the extension's name? + is it on ff?
Just to give a little bit of context, shorts can natively played as videos by replacing the www.youtube.com/shorts/[...} url with www.youtube.com/watch?v=[...], so a simple url replacer will do as well.

Agreed. There is some exclusive content by my favorite creators that wouldnt really work as long form content.
