slowly youtube shorts get longer and longer, a disconcerning [sic] trend
That’s not short.
Good news to those watching shorts (I guess) and completely irrelevant information to the rest of us.
There are dozens of
usthem (I assume)!Sorry I ran out of concentration halfway through your comment. Could you split it up into bite size chunks and spoon feed it to me?
The very first video on YouTube was 19 seconds.
Then videos got so long they created shorts.
Now shorts are longer than the first YouTube video.
We’ve come full circle.
A three minute short is not a short, it is a video lol
I block shorts, so they don’t run anywhere 🤣
How do you do that?
There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.
I need to find a way to block them on Invidious. Shorts just bloat up my Subscriptions page.
I use GrayJay/Revanced on Android and Enhancer for YouTube on Firefox (or any browser)
I think that is a setting in freetube. Also some browser extensions can do that.
Hey, that’s longer than I can run.
Oh no, I don’t think my attention span can handle a full three minutes. That’s like, a whole movie.
They should call those YouTube Capris.
Top on my premium wish list is a way to disable them completely
I have a couple browser plugins that make them vanish completely for me. Main one being “BlockTube”.
Only one being buggy is the plugin that should rewrite shart links to regular video links, so I can watch them if someone links them to me, but I can just interact with the video normally
Where do you find that menu? I can’t find it on my end
Doesn’t help on my Nvidia shield
If my shorts were 200% longer, they’d be pants.
Seems pointless. Just make a longer video.
Pretty soon they’ll be 10 minutes, and then longer, and eventually they’ll be just like any other YouTube video, except in vertical.
with no video controls so you just have to watch the whole thing.
oh you missed something, better watch the whole fucking thing again, with ads of course.
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 VERTICLE AND LOOPS NOW!?!
Vertical ;-;
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.
That being said, that 20-hour postmortem video on Skyrim feels right given how long I’d guess the playtime is on most people’s savegames.
A 19 minute video on how you could save one second in a speedrun of one Goldeneye level on hardest difficulty.
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.
Eat my shorts!
short shorts are better
Can confirm, am male and have eyes. 😆
Who wears short shorts? 🎶
