Over the next decade, we saw multiple social media platforms rise, trying to serve the different needs of the online audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook became the defacto place for users to socialize with friends, Instagram became the place to showcase your photography skills, and YouTube became the place for videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But a lot has changed since then. There is an overwhelming amount of content to be consumed online. People no longer have the patience to sit and consume the different types of content served on these platforms. Instead, people prefer bite-sized content &#8211; bite-sized videos, to be precise. This proves why Vine was a big hit back during its launch in 2013.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though Vine didn\u2019t live long, it highlighted the demand for short videos in the world. This was proven again with the rise of TikTok, which has recently taken over the world by storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the rise of TikTok, the bite-size video officially took over the traditional lengthy videos. From watching long, 15-minute videos, people have moved on to consuming short videos. Since they can scroll and watch multiple videos in a short span, these short videos have made people get glued to their phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-300x298.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-300x298.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-150x149.gif 150w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-65x64.gif 65w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-220x218.gif 220w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-101x100.gif 101w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-303x300.gif 303w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-403x400.gif 403w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-1-454x450.gif 454w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"b\"><b>The Birth of Youtube Shorts:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since YouTube\u2019s inception in 2005, it has become the primary platform for video-sharing with highly active user bases worldwide. However, the popularity of a short-form video-sharing app like TikTok has caught the eye of millions of people in recent times.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Tiktok\u2019s ban in several countries, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shorts &#8211;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the latest feature on Youtube, was introduced to attract global content creators. This feature makes the YouTube content super enticing, like the TikTok app. But, of course, there are many similar apps like Snapchat, Instagram Reels, and many more. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between these platforms is the age group it caters to. Tiktok is largely used by a user base below 24 years of age. But YouTube, one of the most used social media platforms and the second largest search engine, caters to a slightly older audience with more disposable income. This increases the chances of your short-form videos getting instant attention and reaching a mature audience. Also, short videos have a high retention rate, so it\u2019s a win-win situation for the users AND the creators!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-299x126.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-299x126.gif 299w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-150x63.gif 150w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-64x27.gif 64w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-220x93.gif 220w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-238x100.gif 238w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/How-Long-Can-YouTube-Shorts-Be-2-358x151.gif 358w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"c\"><b>YouTube Shorts\u2019 Viewership Stats:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youtube Shorts Beta was initially rolled out back in September 2020 in India, after the ban of Tiktok in the subcontinent.
