      I swear some of those long-form video essays on games have longer runtimes than it would take to just play through the game from start to finish, but that’s okay, I’m still here for it. Love me some excruciatingly in-depth analysis of video game minutia.

    Pretty soon they’ll be 10 minutes, and then longer, and eventually they’ll be just like any other YouTube video, except in vertical.

      with no video controls so you just have to watch the whole thing.

      oh you missed something, better watch the whole fucking thing again, with ads of course.

    So they introduced shorts just to… lengthen them? The people behind Youtube are so incredibly lost it’s almost unbelievable.

      They introduced Shorts because TikTok threatens their monopoly. TikTok raised max length some time ago so they do it too. Now US is going to ban TT and they’re trying to clone some easy to implement stuff in hopes of getting users that won’t move to Instagram. Don’t see that happening because Google doesn’t understand what makes TT so popular. It’s kind of funny that TT recently implemented horizontal videos and it’s as half-assed as Google attempt at vertical ones.

        I feel like we’ll be having the same conversation about YouTube Shorts in 10 years as we are having about YouTube Gaming today.

        Which is to say none.

      They’ve begun to realize how they’re kinda impossible to really make a profit off of.

      I have a couple browser plugins that make them vanish completely for me. Main one being “BlockTube”.

      Only one being buggy is the plugin that should rewrite shart links to regular video links, so I can watch them if someone links them to me, but I can just interact with the video normally

    You know, if I was going to ask for shorts to go in either direction, I would ask them to be shorter, because short shorts are better.
