Shorts is the most braindead form of content. No important and worthwhile information is going to be explained in less than 30 seconds. Block that shit.

There are some that are a couple minutes long, but those are mainly cropped sections of longer videos

I create content but not for any form of monetization or trying to be popular, I just like to make things that are useful. I'm not happy about it, but my most successful video ever, 40,000 plus views was how to fix a lighter. YouTube automatically made it a short because it was under a minute.

I crapped that video out in about 20 minutes... Meanwhile the videos I put dozens of hours into get maybe 3, 4, 5, 600 views
