We get a lot of questions about YouTube Shorts and we've been hesitant to really jump into the conversation with definitive answers because it's a pretty new thing on YouTube.
Earlier this week I was in an all-day meeting with Google hearing about updates and changes coming to YouTube. There's a lot coming, most of which I can't yet discuss, but I can talk generally about some of it, especially around what's happening with Shorts.
During this meeting, I had a mental shift about YouTube Shorts as I heard more about where the product is going. In my head, it was mostly a reaction to TikTok, which I still think it obviously is. But it's a lot more than that, too. This isn't just another feature YouTube is adding.
If you're not using Shorts, are you missing out on something? Should you use it? And if you do, should it be on the same channel or a different channel? Hopefully, all those questions and more will be answered by the end of this episode.
