YouTube shorts are my latest annoyance. They give you an x to hide it then says we'll try again in 30 days. Shorts were a dumb idea on vine, a dumber idea on tiktok, and just about the dumbest idea on YouTube. If I wanted a sub-30 second clip I'd watch a gif.

I don't think shorts are bad, but they aren't the reason I go to YouTube at all. They are just in the way.

I wouldn't even mind them as much if they showed you who posted the short before you watched it. There are a few creators I like enough that I'd watch shorts by, but I've got no way to know it's by them

I like short form content too, but not on my longer form content website. And I wouldn't want ten minute videos on my movie service.

I agree. Shorts are just a way for me to discover new creators when I'm on the toilet since my recommendations page sucks now and never recommends new creators to me.

Collaberations and word-of-mouth are the main ways I find new creators, the algorithm sucks at understanding the finer points.

I would argue that they were a good idea on Vine. It allowed them to stay away from other platforms.
