Why would you ever watch shorts in the first place? First thing I did when they appeared was make a ublock filter to hide them.

    Considering a lot of the full YouTube videos are full of padding, taking over ten minutes to get to the point, I can understand why the shorts would have appeal.

    Problem is one way or another people are being incentivized to target a specific runtime regardless of whether they have the material to fit.
