Short Wars 

In the YouTube Shorts part of YouTube they are typically videos under 45 seconds.
Kids attentions spans are decreasing so they quickly swipe down instead of viewing the video.
So, to get more views, channels will show the content of the video, in addition to an extra video, often Subway Surfers of Minecraft Parkour.
Attention Spans still decrease so channels make weirder videos and catch onto weird trends to get views.
The wars are began by shorts becoming worse and worse as they compete with eachother as our attention spans worsen.

A YouTube and his friend are talking.
Youtuber: So I was thinking of doing some Skibidi Toilet and Subway Surfers Videos for Gen A...
Friend: dude, no, don't fall into the Short Wars

Shorts Wars 

An ARG in which well known youtube shorts creators such as Jonny RaZer, DannoDraws, RoyalPear, and a few others joined together, the main reason the ARG was created being to address different issues in a fun manner. Season 1 (also called the Clone Saga) was about clones, both content and channels, and Season 2 still isn't out yet, as this is being written on October 30th and Season 2 is coming out in winter. Some of the more notable ARG specific characters are Clone Riggy, RoyalMelon (Pear's clone, also one of the only nice clones, R.I.P.), and The Boss.

"I can't believe I missed The Shorts Wars Clone Saga! I've always been obsessed with ARGs, and I can't believe I thought it was a rickroll QR code!!! I'll have to tune in for whatever Season 2 has in store."
