Brainstorming session
🕑 Added 2023-12-02 16:46:27 +0000 UTCSince this is a brainstorming session, this is a safe place for ideas. So feel free to suggest anything, no matter how off the wall.
Here's what I know:
1) The block rules are different for shorts. Things that would get blocked for regular videos fly right past for shorts. So far I've posted nearly a hundred shorts and only 2 of them have gotten fully blocked (both My Hero videos. I've done 4 videos for that show and 2 got blocked) and 2 of them were blocked in the US and one blocked in Germany. Considering I don't put a filter on the show footage, that's extremely good. So that tells me I can do almost any show via shorts.
2) Shorts reach a different group of people/are promoted differently than regular videos. So they're well worth doing.
3) My original channel has been shadowbanned for regular videos but I wonder if that applies to shorts?
4) The two biggest reasons I stopped posting on the original channel was it was taking an average of 3 edits to get the videos past The Block, a huge waste of time. And when the videos did post, they were hardly being promoted.
So, you can see what I'm thinking. Shorts solve both problems.
Therefore, I'm thinking about doing a shorts only reaction series to a specific show on my original channel. This would probably take the form of 2-3 shorts per episode. This would be ideal for a series that has 21-30 minute episodes.
I don't know if this would take off or not but I think its worth exploring.
The problem is I have no idea what show to start with so I'm looking for ideas. I prefer live action for this but that's not a deal breaker. I want it to be a short run series, a couple seasons at most. And the per episode time frame listed above. What are your thoughts?

I have mixed feelings about shorts only. Have you considered using already existing Patreon reactions such as American Dad, Barry, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, etc. Would that also extend to full reactions such as South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Smiling Friends, etc.? A while back I recommended a few shows that were 30 minutes long: Derry Girls, Reboot, Reservation Dogs, The Wrong Mans. But Like I said I have mixed feelings about recommending new shows if they're going to be exclusively short reactions. If you were to do both then that'd be fine, as long as there's a more completely version on Patreon then I don't really mind.

So I think it might be difficult to find a show for short reactions only. My guess would be that those reactions are watched by people who see it randomly, not by people who want to actively follow along. But those are just my reaction habits as someone who doesn't watch a lot of shorts in the first place.

As someone who watches a lot of reactions it's hard to say. If a reaction catches my interest than I would be happy if there are full episode reactions somewhere.
