As a viewer I agree with their assessment.

Shorts is (for me) a worse viewing experience and it's just more useless junk tha clutter up my youtube main page.

That's why I have a Firefox extension that automatically redirects from shorts. Although, if Google's new Web Environment Integrity goes through I guess I could kiss stuff like that goodbye.

Yeah I usually watch YouTube on my shield and it clutters up every channel with junk I have no desire to watch.

I don't disagree but there are some channels that do great shorts. For example check out squat university shorts.
