I am not, either, but unfortunately a lot of creators are being forced to
post shorts in order to get views.  The "long form" content, which looks
like it wasn't shot on a phone, has been de-prioritized by YT in favor of
the short form, amateurish-looking content.

A couple of my favourite creators have gone to shorter form content, which
is unfortunate but I understand why.
