I just don't get the point. Why not watch full length videos where you can have context and actually learn something? Shorts can't really provide context so are just funny moments or something that aren't really that interesting, just a waste of time.
Listen, I'm a busy guy with a life. I don't have 20 minutes to dedicate to a video. I'd rather watch a few shorts... a quick ~~5~~ ~~10~~ ~~30~~ 45 minute session is all I'm after...
I honestly only watch them when I'm super bored or high in bed when I want quick laughs. But honestly, the same question can be asked of people who scroll on Facebook, lemmy, or Reddit hours on end
I would agree with Facebook (and I'll admit I'm biased), but Lemmy/Reddit are about conversations, and context/information are important. Shorts/tiktok are about quick things that catch your eye and you forget about seconds later, and they can't inform you on much, if anything.
A lot of "full length" videos are padded for monetisation purposes. I hate watching some tubers going on and on before actually getting into the main topic.
Good shorts give you everything you need to see in a short period of time. I've seen plenty of them which is why I give it a chance.
It's the not good Shorts that Youtube keeps showing me that I absolutely hate. The 20 view "alpha male" bullshit Shorts that I've never shown interest in yet Youtube insists I must love.
