I normally agree, but there are times when I want a short video. For example, my wife makes crochet and knitting videos. She has series which are 30-60s long and cover one technique. The opposite are people who want to waste your time with a 30 second intro, a talk about whatever and then spend 30s showing you the same technique.
This is not ops target, I understand.

- Timwi 2y agoThere's no reason people can't make 30 seconds-long videos. Your crochet/knitting use-case sounds perfect! The problem is with how YouTube treats short videos as its own thing, expects them to be in vertical video format (because rotating your phone is asking too much) and completely messes up the UI (can't even seek properly). I think channels with short videos that teach a technique or a nugget of knowledge could be very popular and very effective (educationally speaking) if it weren't for the capitalist enshittification.
- makeitshine 2y agoIt's funny you mention vertical videos. I'm currently working on a toy project using MobileNet which classifies YouTube thumbnails as clickbait or not, as per my preferences, and I classify every vertical video as such. It needs more training data but it's up to ～78% accuracy at the moment. Next I'm loading it in a Chrome extension.
