    I don’t mind videos that are exactly as long as they need to be, they can be 1 minute or 1 hour or whatever. But personally I don’t need skinny portrait mode and no seeking.

      Everyone’s different. I’ve watched videos on shorts that I would never click to watch and I really enjoyed them.

      Seeking is avaliable on the mobile app. You can also do this trick on desktop Firefox where you click the picture-in-picture button and press back or forward to jump 5 seconds.
