Dude, you are too much. :) You are actually analyzing the sections and sequence?
lol.. I can't help it, I'm fascinated by how YouTube and other social media manipulates us. :p I do wonder if the layout is the same for others. How does it look when you visit the YouTube home page?

I just looked at both my accounts - neither of them showed any Shorts. I looked at the first 25 rows (I got tired of scrolling) and it was all long form vids, and about 50% from channels I subscribe to. Not sure what happened, but they finally have a good feed. I noticed I have been spending more time on YT... now I see why.

This is mine:

LF

Shorts
LF
Community Posts
LF (rows & rows)

It is reflective of my viewing preferences. I will occasionally look at a short or community post. But I get rows and rows of LF.

Yep... if YouTube was pushing shorts as much as some people would like us to believe I'm guessing we would see a bunch more of those shorts rows. ;)

Reels is a newer feature on Instagram, which allows users to create and share short-form videos of up to 60 seconds in length. Reels are similar to TikTok in its focus on short-form video content and its algorithm-driven discovery system. It has gained popularity as a way for creators to reach new audiences and grow their followings on Instagram.View attachment 13405
With all due respect if I'm wrong, but thank you for that tidbit that smells like a copy/paste ChatGPT line. Not sure how that's relevant to this above discussion?

And yet... last 28 days... I get 2/3 of my traffic to my channel from my YT shorts vs 1/3 watching my LF....sooooo total views are up, watch time similar, and revenue flat-to-down (again)... hmmmm I won't jump to conclusions YET...

That's the flip side of the discussion, YouTube might be pushing our shorts more than our LF. And my data is similar to yours btw, about 2/3 coming from shorts. But it's still good to know that at least on end user's screens it's not row after row of shorts.

That account has thankfully been shutdown by the TB admins. I don't even understand why someone would waste their time to copy and paste a ChatGPT answer that is barely relevant to a discussion.
