Youtube search page has so many shorts before the actual videos... - programming.dev

What if is a short anyways? I’ve never clicked on one. Is it a ten second clip or something?
Basically yeah. 10 second or so vertical video to compete with TikTok and Instagram Reels, because no one has an attention span longer than 10 seconds anymore

Figures.

I love long videos. If it’s ten mins or less I usually don’t even bother.

It is annoying that the youtube algorithm give higher priority to longer videos, above 10 min or so. Which means that quite a few content creators will stretch out something that would take 3 min to explain into a 10+ min video.
Yeah I agree. That’s why it feels like most videos in that range don’t usually have any reason to watch. You just know it’s going to be a waste of time.
