Sorry, I’m trying to understand your use case and it is still unclear to me. Did you ever seek out a short video to use as a how to?
In practice I don't know if I've ever had a relevant short come up when I was trying to find how to do a specific thing. Usually if I need help with something it's more complicated than a short would allow for. I have seen "How to" shorts for all kinds of stuff come across my feed though that were pretty good. So if one came up when I was looking for how to do something I would watch it. That quick, concise format is exactly what I want usually when I'm trying to figure out how to do something. It skips all the "Hi I'm xxxx, welcome to my channel, blah blah blah" shit that the longer videos have. My main point was that not all this content is worthless brainrot stuff. Regardless of if it's useful to you or me in particular someone else may find it valuable.
