Can’t speak for TikTok as i’ve never really used it, but Shorts and Reels do have a seek bar at the bottom of the screen. It’s barely noticeable at first but it’s there. And on Shorts you can tap once on the screen to pause the video if you’re on mobile.
Now, I love to hate on the smartphone-ification of web video as much as the next person, but this meme just feels like bait.
Doesn't work on desktop
It's not every YouTube short
There's no need to skip forward with Facebook's shorts, because the answer is no, there will be no pay off.
tiktok you can 2x long pressing on one of the icons right bottom can't remember which
Not on every reels
Some TikToks have seek bars but it seems only longer ones do. Short ones don't.
To be fair for Tiktok it doesn't matter much since it's selling point is shorts anyway. It's basically Snapchat but less personal but with extra memes
