First Shorts would just show me clips of young women shaking their ass and I would never click on them on principle. Then Google must have figured about the shapeshifter I was developing because it started me showing some clips from an older lady from the UK who meets foxes out on the street and has foxes come to her door, which I will click on.
YouTube shorts are just videos that you can't control, and of course they're short. It's a depressing statement about humanity that cutting things so they're short is a profitable innovation.
