I hate shorts with a passion. It's like they just decided to remove half of the features and think it is better. Like you can't cast a short to your TV via the YouTube app. You can cast other portrait videos, but if they have #shorts in the title then it gets blocked.
Luckily you can get the regular video UI if you go direct to the video link in your browser, but no casting and if you ever get to the video another way you need to edit the URL to do simple things like seek.
