I'm mostly fine with shorts, except for two things:
You can't move around in them, it's either play or pause and repeat, which sucks (as shorts don't have to be short..)
On the homepage it doesn't show who the short is from (which channel) without opening them
You can scrub around in them. Look for the red bar on the bottom after the short starts. You can tap and drag on it and a little red circle will appear that will show briefly after you release.
