Shorts is garbage

Same video, not shorted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJtV2UkU-Fk

Replacing "shorts" with "watch" in the URL gets you a normal link. I've been too lazy to look for a add-on that does this automatically, but it seems like something someone would have done by now.

There is. It's called Redirect Shorts.
