What do you think about KZfaq Shorts? Since their release, they've seemingly been one of the most polarizing new features ever launched on the platform. What seems like fun little short-form videos may actually have MUCH larger ramifications across the platform and the creator economy as a whole. So put those swiping fingers away and let's chat friends.

That last point you made is right on the money - and adding to your point, many shorts creators feel themselves inferior to long-form youtubers. We feel like we're less worthy of being called a "KZfaqr" because we can't manage to make the switch to long form content, or because we feel like our viewers don't care about us nearly as much. It adds to the burn-out and emotional toll of an isolated job a wholeeee lot. Personally, even though my entire internet presence was built off shorts, I'm really really disheartened by the effect they've have had on youtube as a whole.

One thing that has really bothered me about shorts especially when I follow a creator that does exclusive shorts content is finding the shorts you WANT to watch. Unlike long form videos if you go to someone's channel and look through their shorts none of them have the title listed so you just have to pick one based on the one frame of the short you see and hope it's what you want. Makes refinding a short to share with someone a nightmare.

The payout of this new Tiktok like approach has been a concern of mine for a while and a fear that it will become a reason for KZfaq to double down. With how little shorts pay out, creators are forced to spam their channels with as many videos as possible to make any sort of income from it. Since we see a high volume of spammed content, youtube as a whole see’s a higher volume of traffic which allows them to take these new artificially inflated numbers to investors and rake in a higher profit. The problem to me is creators wont see their fair share of this higher profit and in a way rewarding youtube for this bad behavior. Which might be a reason they have been pushing creators so aggressively to take on this new video format (along with competition of course) and what feels like punishing them for not. Just my 2 cents though. Glad you are getting the conversation surrounding shorts started! This video was pretty insightful.

I say this as someone who made 3 shorts that raked in 3 million views for a month and was paid only $18 for that work. I also find my channel being hit hard view wise not being recommended as much (despite retention and click through rate being incredibly high) and what feels like punishment from KZfaq for refusing to post anymore shorts due to its low pay and high effort.

As a method of discovering new creators, shorts have some potential on KZfaq. While I won't generally actively seek out someone's channel if I enjoyed their short, I would hope to start seeing their longer-form content show up on my video feed if I've been watching/liking their shorts or if I hit the subscribe button on their short. I'd like to imagine that this will happen with channels I might not have otherwise ever found.

I really dislike the UI and just generally how TikTok works, but I'm in my mid 20s so my opinion hardly matters to KZfaq... For the most part. I'm also *slightly* concerned about what TikTok will do to future generations. I have ADHD, and I find the format frustrating and overwhelming, but that's also because I prefer 30+ minute videos that are more comprehensive to shorter form content - I can watch/listen while I do other stuff.

This is why the 'link to full vid' feature is so amazing. It keeps the exporative nature of shorts, but makes it really easy to actually go to the creator themselves and foster a newfound fandom. More and more shorts are active advertisements for a channel or video, and I'm all for it

Yes, now if there was an option to limit the feed to those shorts specifically. then it is then just mainly a preview feed that is potentially an excellent tool for finding new creators that you would have never thought to actively search for. Like the preview short, maybe you will like their channel.

Thanks for speaking out about this. It’s insanely discouraging to see KZfaq pushing Shorts so hard, being what is now considered a “long-form” content creator. I’m finally starting to see decent traction this year, and knowing KZfaq are working towards a future where I will have to choose between my passion or seeing continued growth is really unsettling. Fingers crossed they listen to feedback from all of us and can find a better balance.

it finally feels like it's over. youtube has been my main source of entertainment since 2008 and the magic is truly gone at this point. i watch more of it than ever, but i have less emotional attachment to creators than ever. running my own channel has been the thing that pulled the veil for me, realizing my 100k subs are next to meaningless. every video needs to please the algorithm over and over again in order to even show up on peoples' feeds. the concept of an "audience" has lost all of its meaning compared to 10+ years ago, and it didn't just happen randomly. the shift towards algorithms and optimization was orchestrated to pull the most money and attention out of us and it ruined content.

I've always wondered why TikTok seems to have have so little human engagement. Even compared to Instagram, you see so few conversations in the comments, you never get DMs, etc. TikTok's "de-identified" format probably explains this. No one interacts because no one knows who they're interacting with.

I notice the plot holes, the odd lines, the things that just don't make sense, and I'm pretty sure I owe it a lot to those types of channels. Thanks for shaping me, MatPat.

KZfaq has always had short form media, I remember when the longest video you could upload was 10 minutes, the problem isn’t that Shorts exist the problem is how KZfaq is handling them, by treating shorts and long videos as separate entities instead of embracing them both as equally valid forms of content. Creators should be forced to make shorts, and creators who make shorts shouldn’t have to struggle to make long content.

Luckily this channel has always stuck with me and was a factor in me loving random and geeky stuff lol But I do wish KZfaq had a switch to turn off YT Shorts because now I am seeing the consequences in children that are less than 10 being targeted and becoming addicted and dependent with the short video format instead of the normal videos. Anyways, thanks GameTheory for being a part of my childhood ❤

Interesting to hear about this because without using TikTok, without being in touch with the younger generation I wasn’t aware that you are supposed to just scroll through the shorts. I saw my husband doing that few days before I watched this video and I found it confusing since it felt like going through the entire recommendation list to find the few gems he really intended to see. And yeah, I actually look through the Shorts recommended and only click on the ones that actually interest me, I don’t scroll through them. Because of that I do notice the channels producing them and interact with them just the same. And I’m not that old, I’m in my mid thirties, but still it was interesting to see that being somewhat virtually illiterate on how short videos are supposed to work and treating them the same I do with longer videos, I didn’t feel this alienation with the creators. Though can’t say I escape the addiction part. That s**t is strong.

Another thing unmentioned here is content theft/plagiarism has always been a problem online, but the lack of creator identity makes it even worse. If you saw a game theory video with matpat’s voice on a channel called “mysteries of gaming” then you’d probably realise something was up. On the other hand, many ‘successful’ shorts accounts across all platforms purely steal or ‘react’ to content, but viewers don’t know or care that it’s stolen.

This explains perfectly why this year was such a boom for editors. Cutting shorts became the highest paying skill beside smooth brand integration.

Thinking about how KZfaq emphasizes the creator or the Contant… I feel it is ironic that this is probably the last, Matt Pat video or game theory video that I will watch unless I go back and watch replays… Now that Matt Pat is leaving game theory, I really have no interest in the channel anymore… It was Matt Pat his demeanor when he talks, and the way that he approaches topics that kept me invested in this channel… Matt, Pat we will miss you… I will miss you… I have been watching ever since your first assassin‘s creed theory… And I really enjoyed all your theories since then. Thank you for educating us, and opening our minds to concepts that we would never have considered on our own.

When Matpat uploads a film-themed topic to a channel intended to analyzing gaming, you know something has fallen into the deep end.

As someone who is 24, started watching KZfaq in late elementary/middle school, with Markiplier, Game Theory, and Jacksepticeye as the 3 channels I first got invested in… I don’t think this is just a theory 🥲 Hope KZfaq changes for the better, I keep hearing so many creators I watch talk about how depressing it is, and with the Theorist himself showing the overall view of it, hope 2024 is a better year ❤

They should release a second app for Shorts. It would help both short and long form videos.

Actually a fun fact: if you don’t watch KZfaq shorts for long enough you won’t get any on your front page! (I actually managed to do this and I found out myself. Since KZfaq saw me never watching shorts I didn’t get shorts on front page anymore.)

I still get pushed them, I don't watch any at all I hate them lol. I've solved the issue by getting KZfaq redux to return to 2018 layout and hide all shorts from all pages and on mobile I have vanced to remove shorts

2013 MatPat: KZfaq is a game. 2023 MatPat: It is still not a film theory!

to be fair from the perspective of a youtuber, KZfaq is absolutely a game in a way that film isn't.
