YouTube Shorts are, as the name implies, short videos on a loop, i.e., you watch them for a minute or so, and they start over. These short vids target about the same attention-deficit market as Vines used to, or as TikTok videos do now. Being as brusque and to-the-point as tweets on Twitter, these vids can be seen as either utterly lacking substance or getting right to the essence of the matter. You decide. Anyway, here's a sampler of some YouTube Shorts for you to try on for size.
The Liberals May Have Won TV, But Conservatives Won the Internet
Amala Ekpunobi: So Many of Us Bought This Lie
Ex-liberal Exposes Leftist Hypocrisy
The above obviously represents a rightward skew, but YouTube Shorts are made for people of all political persuasions and all senses of humor. If you don't like the above selection, you can find something that fits more with your own perspective.
The tech hasn't developed to the point where I can simply embed a short here on the blog. Maybe there's some cynical, marketing-related reason for that. I don't know.

I like them! I don't have the patience (or attention span, if you prefer) to sit through a twenty-minute diatribe. Even when the subject matter is interesting, I don't want to mess up my morning internet schedule, so I save the video for "later." Invariably, later never seems to come.
