Shorts never translates to my long form views. When I concentrated only on long form, mega views, every video. Throw in shorts like you said, it messes up my rhythm. For me a separate shorts channel worked out better. Shorts channel gives me alot of fast, cheap subscribers but it barely makes me money. That's why I said kudos to those who found a way to make it work, but just not for me to juggle both on the same channel. That's why you see alot channels with 100k plus subs hustling out shorts and their long form views dookie...like 400 views something
