YouTube Opinion Are Shorts worth your time?

[The Jungle Explorer]

It seems like YouTube cannot get enough of Shorts. One has to come to the inevitable conclusion that the YT leadership is of the belief that Shorts are really good for YouTube, in spite of all the factual evidence that YouTube has been losing creators, viewership, and ad revenue ever since they started down the Shorts path. But the real question is not whether Shorts are good for YouTube, but whether Shorts are good for you?

Now, you have to get this through your head. YouTube does not care about you. No matter how much they say they do, or try to convenience you that they do, YouTube is a For Profit company, and the absolutely only thing they care about is making money. That's it. Your content is just an end to the means of making them profit. There is nothing wrong with this. This is how all companies function. It is the truth and the reality of life. Just like every Insurance company tries to convince you that they are your best friend, the reality is, they are in fact trying to get as much money out of you as possible while paying out as little as possible. That is how they stay in business. But think of all of the slogans that they advertise.

State Farm's slogan: "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there!"
Allstate's slogan: "You're in good hands with Allstate!"
Prudential's slogan: "Let Prudential be your rock."
Amica's slogan: "We make our customersΓÇÖ problems our problems. "

Do you see the TREND there? They are trying to make you THINK they are there to do what is best for you. The reality is, this is closer to the truth:

So, now that you understand that YouTube does not care about you or your success, you need to understand that YouTube will gladly let you work like an everliving slave creating content for them and not give you one red cent. So you need to stop caring about WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOUTUBE. You need to care about What is GOOD for YOU!!

So, are YouTube Shorts good for you? Who cares if YouTube thinks they are good for them? They are in business to make money for them, not you! YouTube keeps announcing "New Ways to make money from Shorts", and a lot of people are fooled into thinking that YouTube is trying to help them. The truth is, YouTube is just trying to encourage you to keep making more content while feeding you manure and telling you it is ambrosia.

Here is the absolute truth about the money-making potential of YouTube Shorts. this comes from a recent article in VideoMaker magazine.

Pay close attention to that last little bit. $2,300 for 130 MILLION VIEWS!!! That comes out to, $17.69 for a MILLION views, or $0.017 per 1000 views.

Guys, if your talent and time are worth no more than a penny (which you would not bend over to pick off the floor) for 1000 views, then by all means, keep working endlessly creating Shorts for YouTube. Maybe it is good for those people who can get brand deals or have other ways to make money from them. But from the strict point of view of what YouTube pays out for all your hard work, it is beyond insulting. Let me show you the difference between long-form content and Shorts.

My Long-form content channel has a total of 6.7 Million views and from those 6.7 million views I have earned $34,000.00 dollars. To put this into perspective. If my channel had the 130 million views that GEVids had, I would have earned: $659,701.00. That is Six Hundred and Fifty-nine THOUSAND dollars! Compare that to the insulting $2,300 GEVids made from their 130 million views.

So, I can say with unequivocal confidence, that from the perspective of YouTube ad revenue, YouTube Shorts are not worth it to create, no matter how much YouTube blows smoke in your face trying to convenience you they are.

Shorts can be a useful tool for content creators on YouTube to increase engagement and reach new audiences. As a viewer, shorts can provide quick and entertaining content that is easy to consume. However, it's important to note that not every video is suitable for shorts, and the competition can be tough due to the large volume of content being uploaded. Overall, whether shorts are worth your time really depends on your goals as a creator or viewer and the type of content you enjoy.

Is it just me being overly sensitive, or are WAY too many people lazy and just like to spit out chatGPT copy/paste answers?! Why not give a history and definition of what YouTube shorts are while you're at it?

I concur that YT SHORTS videos are definitely not to place to be on if your sole mission is to make money off those views. I don't even bother calculating or even looking at my $$$ that YT shorts have paid me - all I know is that it's $0.02/1,000 views which is ridiculous.

Given YT management clearly believes that's where they're going to focus on in the foreseeable future - until advertisers start backing off as their ROI is dropping like a rock - I think we, as long-form content creators, need to keep putting out our usual regular LF videos BUT we need to be aware that YT is sending extra eyeballs / traffic to YT SHORTS, and whilst the iron is hot, I don't see why we can't add a number of YT SHORTS into that posting mix of ours...

Just looking at my 6-month stats below, my channel has gained a respectable number of 9,500 new subscribers because of the YT SHORTS videos I posted, so I will definitely not downplay that something is working. Will I smile all the way to the bank with those 2.2mil views? I seriously doubt it.

HOWEVER, I will say that my channel is reaching new record numbers month-after-month, and I can't exclude these YT SHORTS for being just a blip or non-event, as they're clearly contributing to the channel's overall performance (in terms of total views, total ad revenue, new subs etc). And, the extra effort it takes to make these YT SHORTS vs LF content is rather dismal as they're just small 10-15 second snippets of the LF content, so I'd say why not continue doing that and enjoy the YT SHORTS wave while it lasts?!

Who knows - YT management might wake up in a few months and turn off that tap and focus on LF content again and here we will have gained whatever upside from going along with this silly unsustainable YT SHORTS trend...

My 2 cents.

I agree that it works for some people as it has for you. It does not work for me. My viewers hate Shorts as much as I do. I have watched a lot of top tubers talk about this idea of Shorts being a tool in the belt of the LF creator. All the ones I have watched say that it does not work. The Shorts crowd and the LF crowd are not the same people. They are two different kinds of people who want to consume different kinds of content. You can't use Shorts to drive new viewers to your LF content. There is no conversion factor. At least this is what they say.

I put out Shorts, but I have seen absolutely no benefit for them on my channel. For me, it is a complete waste of time for several reasons. Shorts are not evergreen content. They hit the Shorts shelf for a day and if they don't go viral, they get taken down and never seen again. My LF content may start out slow, but gain momentum over time. My top LF videos today are videos I posted years ago. I have had LF videos that over the years have been number one for a while, went down to below the top ten, and then back up to number 1.

Once Shorts leave the Shorts Shelf, you might as well delete them, because they are dead after that. So any amount of work invested into them is worth only a day on the Shelf. Unless you happen to be a pretty young girl who is willing to show skin and act like a total flitty-head on-screen.

LOL! Got the TubeBuddy email about the HUGE SHORTS opportunity! Let me give you the synopsis.

"Waste your time and make no money but feel really good because YAY! you got some search views! Yipee!"

"It works for some people like me"?

Looking at your 12x YT SHORTS videos you've done so far, you have 2x of 18-20k views, a 9k one and another 4 vids with 1k+ views, so quite the views there!

Who knows how many subs you got off those, who are now enjoy watching your LF content! Not sure why you're saying it's not working? Looking at your analytics of those, you must have seen some spillover onto your overall channel AND LF content activity, no?

Taking a step back, I did a quick OUTDOORS SURVIVAL TIPS on YouTube search, and not only did it give me a bunch of the YT SHORTS video results which were not only very interesting, but got quite the views as well, as I'm sure people love watching those!

Yet, you say your audience doesn't like them? (I'll be blunt here, so I apologise for being very direct) Now, if you tell me you don't feel like doing those YT SHORTS. for whatever reason, ie too much time, it doesn't bring in $$$, etc that's a whole different answer, but let's stop saying YT SHORTS videos don't work, shall we?

I'm sure once one were to dive deeper into your keywords & check the YT SHORTS, we'd find plenty of opportunities to spread your SF content and reap amazing results which will push your overall channel performance to the next level (in addition to your consistent updates on LF vids of course!).

Regarding YT SHORTS shelf life, besides a number of viral ones, I have plenty of these below which either do well from the get-go, or have suddenly picked up after a number of days...

Plenty of these who suddenly picked up after a week, or so and have been steadily rising since?

I'll play devil's advocate here and maybe offer a different idea.

It's possible Google/YouTube is playing the same game with TikTok that they are with Twitch. Twitch is literally selfdistructing as we speak. Losing streamers left and right to other platforms. TikTok is currently on thin ice just trying to survive an assault from the US Gov't belief they are a Chinese gov't app designed to turn users into American haters. In essence TikTok's time is tik toking and might eventually change making the platform less appealing. Google/YouTube is counting on this so they can swoop in and be the alternative without having to work for it. they can be patient because they are already on top in other ways.

I totally believe that this is what YT is "Gambling on", but it is a bad bet. Unlike other countries, where the government can absolutely filter out content they do not want their citizens to watch, the US is not at that point. We have a Consitution and that prevents our Government from going that far. The most they can do is regulate "Government Workers" activities while they are at work. As for the common citizen, they can do nothing. So Tik Tok can never be directly banned by law in the US. There are some sideways plays the government can try, like putting pressure on Google and Apple to pull the app from their stores, to make it more inaccessible, but they cannot outright ban it, unless they can prove that TikTok is committing a criminal act.

So, I believe YT's gamble on grabbing the SF content market in the vacuum left by TikTok once it's banned is a horrible bet when you live in the US that has a Consitution that prevents it. Besides, Facebook and Instagram have already grabbed that market and do it way better than YT. YT still sucks at SF content compared to those platforms. If by some miracle TikTok disappears, it will be Facebook and IG that fill the void, not YT.

I never said that you can;t get views from Shorts. Sure you can get millions. But they are worth nothing. Most people will not stop and bend over to pick a penny up off the ground, but YT thinks that a penny is a reasonable amount for them to pay for 1000 VIEWS on a Short video that take a whole hell of lot of more work to create than bending over to pick an up penny.

As far as "Converting" Shorts viewers into LF viewers, all of the top YT advisors agree that they do not convert. People who watch shorts are not the same crowd that watches LF content. That is just a fact. These are two different crowds of people. Is there some crossover? Yes, but it is minimal.

Shorts are not worth it from the standpoint of "AD Revenue". If people find other ways to make money from them, great! More power to them. But what bites my bacon is all the lying and deception that is going on about "Shorts Earning Potential". It is simply utter deception and playing people's ignorance against them to get them to work like slaves for nothing. It is wrong and dishonest.

Remember, it's not about the end goal (banning TikTok), it's about the damage caused by the attempt. They don't need to get rid of TikTok to succeed. They just need it to be slowed down enough to make Shorts more appealing and a better alternative. This strategy works. It's happening to Tesla as we speak. Tesla didn't need to be shutdown. They just needed Elon to goof up, like he has, so the other companies could swoop in, use their years of experience in the automobile industry, the tech they took from the electric vehicle inventors from before Tesla, and simply bide their time until they could get their cars going. The only thing Americans like more than an electric car, is an electric car that looks just like the car they currently have so they can get what they want while not seeming to be one of the first to get one. Keep it on the downlow per se.

I suspect something similar could happen to TikTok once enough ppl realize it's not worth the struggle when alternatives exist. Hell, even Twitch is getting into the vertical video scene.

I personally cant be bothered to make shorts...... in havent tried.. i fight the hard way to gain subscribers.. been bushy with shorts and tiktak and this and that is like playing games on your mind bushing everything. Just go with the flow as simple as 1234 abcd............ But i do like watching shorts but i dont click on whos short video it is.. i watch random shorts follow by someone else after that and the next user random short after that. I dont like how youtube wants to be like tiktok. i even dont like tiktok because i dont use it. Im a pure youtuber and prefer to watch full contents.. Not a website where it has this and that. I dont no guess everyone has something diferent style how things.

Hmm, you haven't tried making Shorts. How can you claim long form is the hard way? Here's my thing, I try not to put something down if I don't have enough knowledge or experience with said something. What's even more confusing is that you also admit to liking it yet you won't even give it a try for potential benefit.

I'm not saying you should start doing Shorts. It's your choice to not make them. Many creators are not interested in short form video. But don't put it down if you haven't actually try it. Shorts are not a guarantee to subscribers and while YouTube is making an effort to promote Shorts and most creators might find a surge in views because of it, it doesn't mean it's a success for the creator. More often than not many Shorts creators have complained of sudden drops in Shorts views, not necessarily because their content sucked but because it's likely based on YouTube's Shorts promotion process that is not meant to be permanent for all creators and instead more like a free trial kind of process to not only promote Shorts but to also entice creators to make more.

In essence, if you haven't actually done Shorts you can't really claim long form is harder. The truth is that Shorts or not being a content creator is difficult all around. Also, why would you deny yourself a potential easy road on a platform that is notoriously hard to succeed in?

 

[Damon]

Yeah, for me it's totally not worth the time. Shorts doesn't provide the type of person I'm looking for.

 

[BraveStar]

Yeah, for me it totally not worth the time. Shorts doesn't provide the type of person I'm looking for.

I feel ya. Shorts, like TikToks, are definitely meant for a very specific audience or very specific reasons that can work for certain type of content. I watch Shorts from time to time myself but am not hooked as much as I am with long form. Even TikToks don't pull me in as much. After about 10 videos I long for normal content. On YouTube in particular the algorithm tends to give me the same videos over and over which doesn't help winning me over.

Exactly! This fascination with Shorts will burn out. Facebook and TiTok are all backing away from shorts for exactly what you just confessed to here. Shorts burn out. Facebook and TT have both stated that there is no money in it. Everyone in the market knows that these platforms cannot survive on Shorts alone. TikTok has already expanded to 10-minute videos, and Facebook is backing off Reels because it said that Images are much better for revenue. At the same time, the YT staff put on blindfolds and said, "Damn the Torpedos! Full Speed Ahead on Shorts!!!"

I am not against Shorts. I am not against YT offering Shorts. I am not against people loving Shorts. I am not against creators making Shorts. I am not against creators finding ways to make Shorts work for them. What I am against is DECEPTION! In this case, the daily deception that is being spread by YT and associated companies and creators that, YT Shorts are a great revenue stream. There is a WHOLE lot of crafty deceptive marketing going on using keywords to fool and lead creators in the illusion that they can earn good ad revenue by creating Short for YT, and this is simply an outright lie! What bothers me, is all of the intelligent creators that know better, Going Along with YT's charade because they want to be "Good YT Citizens" and support the king in his new invisible clothes. Meanwhile, a lot of uninformed creators that are trusting these people to guide them, are wasting their time in a venture that will never pay off for them. They are dancing on a ship that is never gonna go anywhere.

I am against the dishonest marketing that YT is putting out and the lengths they are going to hide the truth from creators about what they are doing under a steaming pile of hyperbolic advertising fluff and smoke. A worker is worthy of their hire. The programmers of TubeBuddy do not want to work for free. Would they create new features for the TP app if TB told them that they would only earn a penny for every 1000 views? No, of course not. TB charges a pretty hefty fee for its service, so people can use it to do the SEO on their Shorts that will never earn remotely close to enough money to even pay for the TB service, for 99% of creators. It's not wrong for TB to want to earn a justifiable wage for their hard work. A worker is worthy of their hire. TB is honest about what it is going to cost you to get their premium service. That is the way it should be.

Unfortunately, this is NOT how YouTube is behaving. YouTube wants to promote Shorts, and knowing that there is no real money in it, they have decided to use deceptive practices to fool creators into working for nothing. That's bad enough. But what is really bad, is all the people that know what is going on and have the power to expose it, have joined in on YTs charade because they don't want to rock the YT boat. Well, guess what? I am not one of those people. I call a SPADE a SPADE.

 

[The Jungle Explorer]

Oh, and far as EVs go. Americans do not love them. EVs are another deception and lie that is being perpetrated and uninformed people. Here is an excerpt from a much longer in-depth article I wrote on this subject.

------------------------------------

Humans are destined for destruction. Humans are evil by nature and only choose to do good when subjected to extreme suffering. When suffering ends, they go right back to being magnetically drawn to self-destruction.

Take Electric Cars for example. The people that are pushing electric cars are the very ones claiming that they want to choose a path of bettering the planet, but take a look at these pictures.

What are the giant gaping holes in the earth? They are just a few of the countless lithium mines around the world trying to get enough lithium to build all the batteries for electric vehicles, which can only be made of raw ore because lithium batteries are massively toxic to try to recycle, and are toxic to dispose of.

These same people are pushing for green energy like Wind Turbine to power the electric cars

But each modern turbine takes thousands of pounds of raw copper ore mined from the earth to build. Take a look at these earth-friendly copper mines.

Wow! So beautiful how we are not raping and poisoning the earth to fuel our EVs.



But you know what? There is a mode of transportation that does not hurt the earth. Actually, this mode of transportation helps the Earth.

A horse eats grass for its fuel and it was the mode of land transportation that humans used for thousands of years. The manure that horses produce is one of the best natural fertilizers possible for growing food.

There is no mode of transportation that is more earth-friendly or more beneficial than a horse.

Additional benefits of horses include companionship, entertainment, and enjoyment.

The people pushing EVs do not want to save the earth, they want to FEEL like they are doing something good, while they drive around in luxury that is raping the planet.



This is not a better path to saving the earth.

We know what a better path is, but it requires giving up luxury and convenience, so we convince ourselves that our selfish need for luxury and comfort is the better path.

Humans are destined for destruction.

LIkewise - great discussion partner!

I just have an issue with people spitting out 'advice' which actually is them 100% copying/pasting what ChatGPT told them - at least add your own 2 cents to the explanation - and/or let ppl know what you did there.

No kidding! It shows this disturbing, continuing mentality that there is some easy plug-in trick to getting famous on YouTube, anything but actual hard work.
