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.

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?
