So many of the shorts I’ve seen are repackaged Tik Tok that it makes sense for YT not to encourage publishing on a competitor first.
I thought that's what Shorts are? A TikTok copycat
Yeah, but I’d think k YouTube would rather people post there first (or exclusively) than to have their competitor’s logo in every video
