I recently uploaded a short-length video just to share with a friend because it was too big for discord. It happened to be a vertical video and it automatically uploaded as a short with seemingly no way to change it, which is annoying as hell. Seems like they're desperately chasing the endless scrolling brainrot even if it degrades the platform because it keeps users engaged I guess. I certainly find myself locked in to it far more than I would like to admit just because I clicked on a small compilation of cat videos.
