I don't think it's going anywhere. People get lost in shorts really quickly, especially on your phone. It's the algorithm being able to decide who you are and how to get engagement out of you at a much faster rate then regular videos.

Nobody asked for this, nobody wants it on youtube. But it keeps people on the platform longer and it feeds the algorithm fast. So it's not going anywhere

As right as they are, I still can't help but think "To be fair Youtube was ruined when you let Viacom write the playbook for it."

Then in 10 years when some disrupting service releases “ephemeral” video clips that last <1 ms and get deleted; and YT implements it. The YT veteran staff of the future will think that is ruining YT shorts

Not much left to ruin...

YouTube ruined itself with censorship.
