Considering a lot of the full YouTube videos are full of padding, taking over ten minutes to get to the point, I can understand why the shorts would have appeal.

I’ve stopped watching YouTube shorts because of this, and the removal of the downvote count makes it harder to tell.
And hiding the date the video is from, Youtube is getting worse.
I will never pay for youtube while the downvote count is gone. Absolute anti consumer bullshit.

Why would you ever watch shorts in the first place? First thing I did when they appeared was make a ublock filter to hide them.
100% this I do everything I can to ignore shorts

I just skip those. There’s almost always a better one that was easy to find.
