I just glanced at it and didn't read it all. I just looked at the featured creators. Of course, they were all creators that are already famous and had millions of followers. As soon as I see this kind of article, I just click off because it is not tied to reality. If Kim Kardashian did Shorts of her butt, she would get a trillion views in a week. It does not mean she knows anything about how to get views.
Using people that are already super famous and already highly successful as a guide for how non-famous people should try to achieve the same kind of success is nothing short of an illusion ( a nicer word than what I really want to use). Just being honest. People that have fame can do anything and get a lot of views. What they do or how they do it is not the reason they get a lot of views. It also does not mean that regular people can copy their techniques and achieve the same kind of results.
YouTube wants to promote Shorts, I get that. It's their platform, they can do what they want. But flashing big numbers of views in front of my face by already highly successful big channels and saying, "Hey Look here. SHORTS are great" is intellectually offensive to me, because it ignores reality and it also ignores the one little thing that I have already proven about Shorts. This is that, YT Shorts views do NOT MAKE MONEY!
So I am going sit here and pull a Jerry McQuire and say:
"
I don't give a flying flip about Shorts Views!"
