    i never got the point of shorts. they’re so short, they can’t cover anything of any substance. I’d rather watch a full video.

      I’ve started watching shorts when I’m eating breakfast alone and want entertainment that can be easily interrupted so I can do something productive before I leave.

        That’s because shortcuts are narratively complete (usually). Many shorts are just clips, and incomplete, therefore unsatisfying.
