According to the Candor newsletter (candor.co/newsletter) the YouTube Shorts team is one of the best teams in Google and are “innovating quickly and crushing it”. Anyone from Google/YouTube or the Shorts team want to comment on this? I’ve been on the lookout for a good team in Google that is not bloated or slow moving.
Shorts is the most shitttiest Google product.
Shorts is great, way better than reels.
How is the eng team, though?
2-3 years ago this was absolutely true. Since then they massively grew HC and became slow and bureaucratic.
Bs. They have hc but way slower than competitors. People don’t post on shorts first. They TikTok and then copy to yt.
They are just getting started
