YouTube and Cry

Similar to Netflix and Chill, but applied to Online Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the "New Normal", many educators began posting their lessons onto YouTube.

For many students who were forced to maintain social distancing away from friends, "Netflix and Chill" soon gave way to "YouTube and Cry".
Pierre:

Hey, do you wanna come over for some Netflix and Chill?

Elliott:

I can't. My whole family is being quarantined. It'll just be YouTube and Cry for the next 14 days.

YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts are a type of content introduced around 2019 in order to concurrence Tiktok. The principle of Shorts are to post videos that last less than 60 seconds. Generally, YouTube Shorts seem to perform better than traditional videos. The only problem is that YouTube Shorts doesn't have an algorithm, meaning that scams and fake news videos can be recommended to you. Hopefully, YouTube introduces patches to regulate Shorts.
Person 1: Today, I'll publish a Short on YouTube Shorts.
The next day...
Person 1: Oh my god! I got a million views on my short!
Person 2: Why are my Shorts better than my long videos?
