If this trend continues, next jump will be to show only 7...8 snapshot pics instead of a 15 minutes video.  ;D

The format is already pretty much optimal for what it is, which IME is distraction for people bored out of their mind in some public place - sitting on a train, waiting for their medical appointment, etc. They pull out a phone, scroll through an endless stream of videos and watch whatever catches their attention.

It has to be clickbaity if you want anyone to start watching it, it has to be entertaining if you want anyone to watch more than the first second. It can't require more effort than making a watch/no-watch decision or it will be a no-watch for you. No clicking and browsing pictures, no putting on headphones, captions preferred over audio, etc.

Likely the result of agressive pushing by the algorithm, not result of views by regular subscribers.

Probably, but if it's consistent then you can't blame them for continuing to chase an audience there.

Yes, it's understandable. But do they have the demographics for the audience they get through shorts? I'm curious.

Kasper:
A few content suggestions:

Traps for young players.

Designs for common problems.  For example a power button circuit.

Product reviews.  Products you use.  Mailbag stuff.  Trashing the scammers.

It is annoying but way more engaging. I would watch just compilations of australia-isms of dave lol imagine 1 minute with 100 We're in like Flynn

@rt:
The most interesting example to me, using a transistor (or two?) as a clamping zener.
I have taken note personally, to give it more attention,
but it's a ridiculous short! The captions make it worse.

Who cares anyway? Don't they produce zero income? Or the idea is simply to draw ppl in to the real videos?

The VFD one would capture attention if interested, to get a quick explanation, but the video needed to be shot portrait.
How hard would it really be to shoot a bunch of these?

The "Jelly Bean Component" short. I can't see the appeal for anyone at all.
In the context of the original video, maybe, but as a short, nope.

2 out of 4 aint bad.. sort of.. at least as ideas.

I don't want it as a job, but was happy with my one short on my now 15 year old channel :D If you forgive the audio.

YouTube has produced more without my intervention.
