Considering a lot of the full YouTube videos are full of padding, taking over ten minutes to get to the point, I can understand why the shorts would have appeal.

I’ve stopped watching YouTube shorts because of this, and the removal of the downvote count makes it harder to tell.
I will never pay for youtube while the downvote count is gone. Absolute anti consumer bullshit.
I do use the add-on to bring them back, but fuck those assholes for doing this.
Why would you ever watch shorts in the first place? First thing I did when they appeared was make a ublock filter to hide them.
100% this I do everything I can to ignore shorts
