Let's talk about Shorts

[R-Rated]

I know is of the few shorts I put out is that I have gained more subs compared to the previous weeks.

I also know that YouTube looks at retention during a video so a short would have very good retention versus a longer video.

Then consider how sometimes you see a video in your history as viewed that you did not actually view but it did play as a preview. It likely counts on the creator's side as low retention as well.

I see value in how you can a make a short from a long video because it has a quick and easy way to go straight to the original video compared to posting on some other platform with a link.

I am not saying to not post on other venues; just things to consider. Like basically running commercials for you channel.

I do the short form on IG, over there, the shorts seem to be the only way to get seen.

That's actually a pretty good idea. I need to post more often to IG anyway, shorts videos might be a good way to do it.
