Ludicrous that they made such an openly user-hostile interface. Won't show you runtime, won't show you the clip author, just maximally entice the user to click so they get sucked into the infinite dopamine machine. Absolutely unconscionable.

They just copied TikTok.
They didn’t just copy tiktok, they made a poor version of it and jammed it into an existing app because they have a captive audience. I can uninstall tiktok, I can’t uninstall shorts.
