That's the most frustrating part for me with Tiktok, Youtube shorts, instagram etc.

I wish you could scrobble through a video - it's more frustrating on Youtube because you always could and now all of a sudden you can't, and now videos 60 seconds or less get auto-converted into shorts (from what I've understood). Very annoying.

Whoever designed this knew what they were doing on an addictions/product/customer retainment level because it sure wasn't a usability/UI engineer that made this decision.

I just realised the other day after many many months that one can scrub through IG Reels with the bar at the bottom.
I think only for reels which are longer than a certain time length...
