To be clear, I watch all your old and new videos as a recent subscriber. However I haven't seen a single short from this channel and im rather glad. It keeps the videos more relaxed and interesting while avoiding falling into the plague that is the short attention span

I have never seen a short from you on my feed but your regular uploads always show up brother

I keep rewatching your videos as background noise while at work both because i love how you recap movies, and because im stupid and require being told 13 times how something works before i remember. I can now confidently tell someone how a virus works with 73% accuracy lol. Fantastic work papa roanoke!

Honestly they show up every now and then but not as often as I’d expect since i follow your main channel pretty consistently.

No recommended shorts from you, but your long videos pop up on occasion (not often enough for how much of your content I watch). Love your long vids. Your breakdowns are so fun to watch.

I genuinely can’t recall a single video of yours from the past three months showing up on my front page at all. Time to binge watch three months worth of videos

Your videos come up in recommended just about every time I'm on here, both new and old. I haven't clicked on them a ton lately, but I know they are there for when I want to or binge a few. One of the guys I work with recognized one of the phrases I used in conversation (and he said "alright there, Roanoke" in response), and we got to talk about some of the movies on the channel in person. You're doing good work.

I love the long ones... Your voice hits perfect for those. Calming, interesting, not sleepy, not screaming toddler. 😂 I personally don't recall even seeing any shorts from your channel, but I do prefer to choose your videos for long time cleaning, working, gardening, etc where my BRAIN can be babysat with all the cool info, while my bodysuit goes into autopilot and does what it has to do. 😊and for THAT, I thank you to no end.

The problem is if you turn “Notify Subscribers” off as an established channel with an actual subscriber base (ie how all the shorts guides recommend turning it off for newer channels), the algorithm lumps in the retention and activity rate of your shorts with the active channel, long form content and all, meaning you adding shorts that aren’t pushed to subscribers causes a larger portion of the important ~early~ interactions with the short to be with random people who likely won’t interact as well as subscribers. (This was the longest single sentence I think I’ve ever written… my bad chief.)

I see a fair amount of videos from you, probably once every 50-75 videos. A pretty good rate honestly. Occasionally it'll go a couple weeks without one appearing, but it's pretty high consistently.

It's come up on my recommended and Hone page several times! And I always watch them to support and learn! ❤❤❤

Your old Metro videos actually got me hooked onto your channel, I forgot what was the first one I saw but I watched through damn near all of them.

I love your videos more than the shorts because I like when you explain the science in details.

The reason I tap on shorts is when I see your funny little symbol. “That title is so weird-oh it’s Roanoke. CLICK!” I do enjoy that they’re some of the more fun bits from your full videos

I see older videos I've already seen pop up here and there, I've never seen a short pop up from you, and I try to stay up to date and watch everything you post the day it's posted, you're my favorite channel to just put on and listen to while working you always seem to bring a huge smile!

Honestly it's been wierd, I watch and rewatch your stuff all the time, but lately I haven't been getting your new videos in my recommendations. It didn't really occur to me until you brought it up, but I think in the past 6ish weeks I've only had 2 new vids come up. I do have all notifications turned on for your channel, and actively search for your stuff if it's not just in my feed; so it's definitely strange that I'm not seeing your stuff in my feed recently. Hope this helps, keep up the great work and thanks for all the fantastic videos! Xoxo

I didnt start watching your videos for the shorts. I’ve been watching because I enjoy in depth breakdowns of sci-fi diseases/biology with a little hint of dad humor. Don’t change it man

I only found your channels recently. Great stuff! I wouldn't bother if they were shorts. I like Tales even more! Keep it up!

So hilariously, I suspect doing youtube shorts actually hurts this channel but conventional wisdom being pushed says the opposite which I disagree with. So lets run a poll:
I've had the same upload schedule, Wednesdays and Saturdays for the last 7 months, started posting more shorts in the last 3 months. Have you seen this channel come up in your recommended from what you can remember?
