I am viewing it on a phone. Instead of having a usable UI and a viewable video, it takes every square mm of screen and shoves everything into a mess that can’t be paused or minimised. It’s hostile to any action that isn’t consuming more.
Just click on it? Really? For the life of me I couldn’t figure that out, probably because single clicking does basically nothing in normal videos.
I don’t want to use other apps, I want to read comments and descriptions. If I can’t get context there’s no reason for me to be there, and I may as well never open a short to begin with.
Everything about shorts are designed to shove more noise down your eyes, but I want to learn something. Even the community posts are better for that.

Just click on it and you can pause it though
Minimize? Just switch apps?
