This article seriously needs improvement

YouTube Shorts article can improve, it has a great shot at getting aleast B-class, but this article must improve. Like alot. SMBMovieFan (talk) 23:27, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of articles need improvement, and you're free to make those improvements yourself or suggest them here. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing

In the "History" section of this article, it says that YouTube is planning on launching Shorts on the YouTube TV app. However, they are launching it on the regular YouTube app for Smart TV.

The concept of Short videos isn't new

Why does this deserve it's own wiki page? Especially without referencing any historical origin of the idea other then to tiktok?

Media companies have been using Short such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_the_Cat

There's no reference to a term being coined officially per say, but those videos were all inherently identified as Shorts. See any of of the references pages on that Felix the Cat page and you'll see what i mean. 24.19.141.129 (talk) 02:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about YouTube Shorts the product, not the concept of short video. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already covered at Video clip#Short-form videos. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:51, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added a section to the article about Shorts Wars. You can add to it if you want. Ferretman1 (talk) 17:43, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brainrot

Can someone add Brainrot section? 5.90.132.227 (talk) 15:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History

On September or October 2024, YouTube announced that shorts can go as long as 3 minutes (which they probably have now). But it is not shown in the "History" section of the article. 2A00:23C8:F0A:9801:FD50:669C:4092:C62B (talk) 13:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
