This stood out to me:
Stand up is really, really good for short-form video. All the comedians I follow post individual jokes that link to their full sets. I'm surprised Just for Laughs couldn't replicate this.
They mention monetization. Pretty sure you can’t monetize shorts.
Edit: So seems like you can, but they don’t generate much returns, so might as well say you can’t lol
Yes you can. There is revenue splitting for the ads between shorts.
When people say this it should be mentioned that shorts really don't pay much
You can, but it's basically nothing.

You can make more from selling one hoody than you would get from half a million views on shorts.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Interesting. Do they tend to have the same kind of returns?
They probably don't want to pay people to go through all the videos and edit them down then re-upload them.
