Recently I was watching YouTube Shorts, I returned to the home screen, and, to my surprise, Picture-in-Picture mode activated for YouTube Shorts. I wondered when this feature was even released. After doing some research, I found that Picture-in-Picture is generally available only for Premium users. I feel like this might have been a strategy to encourage users to subscribe to Premium. And, interestingly, the Picture-in-Picture mode didn’t happen again. Is it also happening for you guys?

Same here! I noticed PiP on my Shorts out of nowhere, but it was gone the next day. Maybe YouTube is testing the feature for non-Premium users to hook us. Clever marketing if that’s the case

It was just today morning when I discovered this YouTube channel name "Shorts Break", a dedicate channel for relatable short content. I was shocked to see the massive subscriber count of 42.3Million! And they achieved this within probably 3-4 years.

I was happy not seeing any ads in YouTube Shorts content. And then this happened, a banner ad while watching Shorts. Although the ad fades away after a few seconds, it still feels uncomfortable. YouTube's pressure to buy Premium is surreal. A few g

In November 2006, Google acquired YouTube for a staggering $1.65 billion in stock. This was just 18 months after YouTube's creation. What's lesser-known is that YouTube's success was so massive, it was using more bandwidth in 2006 alone than the ent
