It's also funny looking at it from the other side, from youtube creators saying they feel pressured to make shorts because shorts are so popular right now.

They're only 'popular' because youtube is pushing them like crazy on everyone they can. Youtube is manufacturing the demand, and creators feel the need to cater to that demand.
