I don’t actually use TikTok or even the “sliding” function on youtube shorts, but I feel like my attention span has gotten much worse after they started getting popular. Even watching a 2 minute video feels dreadfully long, let alone a 10 or 20 minute video, so I end up watching a mostly short animation memes instead.
I guess. I’m watching YouTube to learn stuff, either documentary stuff or DIY stuff. But I’ll be honest, other than funny skits that stopped being funny to me years ago, I can’t imagine what kind of content would be interesting in a 2-3 minute burst.

I started with 2-10. 2-3 is the amount of time for information that’s left after cutting out the sponsorship ad, “hey its your boy/girl” intro speeches, “smash that bell” exhortations, recaps of their previous videos, tearful thanks to their subscribers and listing their new patreon patrons by name, the heartwarming/heartwrenching story that led them to decide to create this video, the second sponsorship ad, and the shitty outtro music/graphic.

If you’re looking for short skits, I’d recommend Joel Haver. This is my favourite video he’s made recently https://youtu.be/yWoDSsCX1S8 followed up by https://youtu.be/3c_BodbA8F4 but he’s done great stuff for years including some very cool collaborations and animations. Mostly in the 2-5 minute range though sometimes he does longer.
SponsorBlock (if available on your platform) is great for skipping that kind of annoying filler. It’s user reported so it can sometimes be a bit aggressive or just missing. But I have mine set specifically to only skipped sponsored segments and it works quite well on bigger channels. Sometimes getting tagged within minutes of publication.
