    I don’t really try to consume shorts but YouTube presents them regardless of if you’re looking for them or not. I don’t even search out woodworking or gardening, I usually look for specific “how to disassemble things” videos or guides for video games but the algorithm always seems to get there sooner or later. Sometimes something will catch my eye and I’ll watch it which is how I discovered these guys. I don’t really doomscroll on shorts and if I start it’s usually only 2-3 videos before I hit something stupid that snaps me out of it but I’ve literally never watched https://www.youtube.com/@WorkshopCompanion full videos or seen one of them on my dashboard but their shorts are insanely dense with information. They’re my ideal YouTube “how to” video. If all content creators where like that we’d be living in the futuristic part of that one meme. My point was not all short form content is bad.

      Sorry, I’m trying to understand your use case and it is still unclear to me. Did you ever seek out a short video to use as a how to?
