Fuck is the point of these portrait unseekable bastards? If I want a short video, I'll filter by duration THANKS

going after some of that tiktok audience innit?

[touchingcloth]

Are vertical videos with no time sliders the key to Tik Tok's success?

[dontpaintyourteeth]

fucked if I know mate I just thought it was similarly short pointless videos

[touchingcloth]

I think that was the strapline from their marketing pitch.

All the YouTube Shorts genres:

• Clips from stand up shows
• GRIFTERS
• Badly cropped clips from TV comedies where it's just two people's noses in frame.
• "I discovered a secret Mario game that nobody* has ever seen before!"
• "Funniest sports fails" and it's just videos of girls at the gym

Possibly, Facebook's jumped on the bandwagon too.

Whats with those annoying voice overs? Is that tik tok too? Slightly human but majorly robotic, saying the same thing thats written in text on screen. Dystopeen

And what's with the ones where it's just someone talking but they're miming to someone else's voice --- either that or someone else has redubbed the video.
Either way, what is point?

[Pink Gregory]

does anyone else get the same Youtube comedians - Finlay something and a blonde lady with big teeth?

Not that I'm complaining, I've laughed at most of their stuff

Someone on here said that was AI which freaked me out. I just thought it was unimaginative pricks mimicking the cadence of all the other pricks.

Remember how someone doing that to trump over lockdown became an entire career as a satirist?

Ungodly annoying because I'd been using youtube as a converter for videos that twitter arbitrarily decided weren't compatible and now they upload as shorts with my name watermarked on so I've had to find another workaround

Whenever I've had that it's been due to it being fussy about the audio rather than the video, it needs to be aac for desktop uploads.
