I agree, but that’s why consistency and making an connection with the right audience is important. Like all of YouTube, not every view will translate to a subscriber or like. However if you build a consistent brand and manage to return repeatedly on a viewer’s recommendations then soon enough they will interact with more than just your shorts. I like to think of shorts as just teasers for your longer content, clips to get them wanting more. Hopefully this makes sense. I didn’t want to post a full article haha.
