If my shorts were 200% longer, they'd be pants.

Seems pointless. Just make a longer video.

Normal videos too

Pretty soon they'll be 10 minutes, and then longer, and eventually they'll be just like any other YouTube video, except in vertical.

So, they're going to change the name to YouTube mediums?

They’re going full Australian coffee. YouTube medium shorts.

Can't wait for 10 hour long reviews of Elden Ring, BUT VERTICALE AND LOOPS NOW!?!

I swear some of those long-form video essays on games have longer runtimes than it would take to just play through the game from start to finish, but that's okay, I'm still here for it. Love me some excruciatingly in-depth analysis of video game minutia.

You know, if I was going to ask for shorts to go in either direction, I would ask them to be shorter, because short shorts are better.

short shorts are better

Can confirm, am male and have eyes. 😆

So they introduced shorts just to... lengthen them? The people behind Youtube are so incredibly lost it's almost unbelievable.

They've begun to realize how they're kinda impossible to really make a profit off of.
