After all, the shorter the video, the more time people have to perhaps watch another video of yours. And another! However, since the rise of YouTube Shorts, a shift seems to have occurred, at least on some part of the YouTube platform. That shift points to a trend of "ultra long" videos being in somewhat high demand. It makes sense when you really think about it! If someone wants to put something on while they're eating dinner or trying to fall asleep, it's nice just to commit to one, high quality, long video instead of scrolling and scrolling through dozens of short videos. Today we're digging into the data and sharing examples of "ultra long" content on YouTube and how it could very well be a bit of a cheat code when it comes to blowing up your small channel.
