Confusing

In the "History" section of this article, it says that YouTube is planning on launching Shorts on the YouTube TV app. However, they are launching it on the regular YouTube app for Smart TV.

The concept of Short videos isn't new

Latest comment: 6 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Why does this deserve it's own wiki page? Especially without referencing any historical origin of the idea other then to tiktok?

Media companies have been using Short such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_the_Cat

There's no reference to a term being coined officially per say, but those videos were all inherently identified as Shorts. See any of of the references pages on that Felix the Cat page and you'll see what i mean. 24.19.141.129 (talk) 02:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

This article is about YouTube Shorts the product, not the concept of short video. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

History

Latest comment: 6 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

On September or October 2024, YouTube announced that shorts can go as long as 3 minutes (which they probably have now). But it is not shown in the "History" section of the article. 2A00:23C8:F0A:9801:FD50:669C:4092:C62B (talk) 13:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
