YouTube Question Shorts

In my opinion I think that YouTube shorts is their way of pandering to a younger audience who are more interested in short two minute TikToks. It seems that the younger generations attention span has gotten shorter as shorter videos are more popular where as I personally prefer to sit and watch an hour long stream, sometimes even longer.

On my channel i like to make videos that can be anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, with my longest being an hour long and my shortest being a one off two minute video due to something that had happened and I needed to get it off my chest.

On one hand my long video has 45 views after 3 weeks, and my shortest video has 99 in 48 hours, two of the most-viewed videos on my channel. So i guess the question 'are they pointless' depends on the type of channel that you have and who your target audience is.

I am a gaming channel, I play all sorts of pc games, usually from steam. My most recent game was 'plug & play", which was uploaded today, and my first ever game was five nights at Freddy's security breach.

What about you?

I didn't play through the entire title due to a few issues, firstly due to the game being very buggy and full of lag (an issue which steel wool claims to have fixed but I haven't tried it) and secondly due to me getting a bad ear infection that meant I struggled with the audio cues. Here is a link to my playlist though, if you would like to have a look through it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKA6paAKVGBd11yJdUTcXLqJevuBe3SL

I will admit though these are my first ever videos so I'm not the most confident in them as I'm still getting used to it all
