There are good short form videos. There are also bad ones. No different than long form video.

Sure, but why? PeerTube already exists and it isn’t like there are length limits.

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.

It’s also one of the best ways to advertise as a small content creator. The internet hates self-promotion with a passion, but short form videos? People love that shit.
