We challenge the “long form is dying” narrative and lay out why feeds are surfacing more shorts and livestreams while long videos still win when they deliver deeper value. We answer creator emails on niche focus, audience shifts, variety channel pitfalls, comments etiquette, and whether to split shorts from long form.
• YouTube feed shifts toward shorts and streams
• Why live spikes on TV and autoplay matter
• Long form value versus quick answers in search
• Niche fit dictates format, not trends
• Variety channels dilute viewer intent
• Packaging for younger audiences without losing core
• When to split shorts and long form into separate channels
• Practical tactics: thumbnails, titles, related traffic, outliers
