Also:

- you can't watch at 2x on reels

- you can't pause a video while watching on reels

- you can't seek in a video either, you just have to watch the whole thing over

- reels interrupts your experience with awful ads every 2-3 swipes

- YT shorts probably has awful ads too, I haven't tried it

The time limit is probably going to be the biggest issue for YT and reels, but the ergonomics of both are so awful that I can't use them for more than a few minutes. I could scroll TikTok until the little video about scrolling too long came up (an hour I think).

- You can pause a video. Not the best UX, but you need to HOLD your finger, just like you do for Stories

- You can seek in a video too. Again, awful UX, the line is super small, but you can. Depends how large the video is, I believe.
