Shorts are such a stupidly blatant way to start showing more ads than content, and they make navigating channels impossible. Hell you can't even get away from ads in search results with premium.

    Which is funny because Vine failed to sufficiently monetize and shut down...

    In any case the point is shorts weren't designed from the ground up as some way for YouTube to squeeze more ads in out of some "diabolical laboratory of Google." Shorts were designed to compete with an existing product.
