Honestly, it’s the terrible content moderation policies that are going to kill YouTube, not a certain type of video.
Shorts are far from being the biggest problem, the ads are much much worse.
YouTube ads are so mild compared to other free content platforms though, even some paid services tbh.
Where have you seen ads worse than YouTube?
Cable TV has crazy long adverts about mesothelioma, the radio has big long ad breaks with police car sirens and nonsence in, have you been on a news site recently? It’s hard up find the story there are so many auto playing adverts and banners.
I think even twitch is worse, they randomly throw thirty seconds adverts up over the top of content so one moment you’re watching the key moment of a vital battle and the next you’re pulling your hair out while watching chat say ‘oh wow that was the funniest thing ever!’
What acceptable quality free content provider has less obnoxious ads? You can even skip most the YouTube ones after five seconds.
Youtube just stopped being useful. Now it’s all republished TV and no personal expression. Totally boring.
YouTube ruined itself with censorship.
