More time is spent watching YouTube on TV than on mobile

If that's the case, it's surprising they keep pushing Shorts so hard on the Apple TV app, because watching vertical Shorts videos on a TV is a uniquely terrible experience.

I’ve noticed the stuff they show by platform is pretty different. On TV the home page is mostly 30-60 minute videos. While on my phone it’s mostly 5 minutes or YouTube shorts. So it’s not surprising TV usage is more when you watch much longer videos.
