Not summer shorts,but it seems so many YT videos are now "shorts" .....2-3 minutes and not enough time to watch or jot down the products.
I enjoy the "used to be" full length vidoes to listen to while cooking or doing other things around the house.
Have you noticed this and which videos do you prefer?

I like both. Most of the YT'ers doing shorts also do full length videos.

I'm not a fan. I prefer Instagram for that type of thing. I typically only put on YouTube when I'm putting on my makeup/doing my hair so I prefer longer videos.
I remember one of the people I watch on YouTube saying that YouTube is pressuring creators to put out shorts. I'm sure they're trying to compete with Instagram and TikTok.

If I wanted "shorts" or reels, I'd go to Instagram or TikTok (not that I would).

The Youtubers I watch...their shorts are outtakes of past & current videos or teases of what coming. My guess...shorts are done to get viewers who aren't familiar with their channel to give a quick view & hopefully become a subscriber. I watch shorts & full length by my favorites...I'm subscribed with notification 🔔 turned on & always give them a thumbs up, it helps their channels be recommended.

Oh yes and I'm not particularly fond of it. A few of my subscribed YTers have talked about it. Seems as tho YT is pushing it. I don't know why unless they (YT) just feel people's attention span isn't what it used to be
I don't mind the Shorts but I don't want full-length vids to become a thing of the past. When I'm watching while cooking or doing my makeup/day-night skincare routines, I don't want to have to stop every 2 minutes to load up another video.

The shorts can be fun!
I admit, some of the YouTubers I watch regularly get fast-forwarded, because they drone on and on and on....if it happens too much I unsubscribe!
