I absolutely love your content. Tragically I have an absolute iron-clad rule that I never ever watch short-form videos to prevent my algorithms recommending too many to me , so I haven't seen any of yours, but you're making me rethink that rule!

Based on the shorts I’ve seen hosted by Tristan, he’s great. Nice team!

Sending Tristan to the most extreme climate places is doing the opposite of regular shows where the presenters do a 15 second clip to camera right next to a very nice holiday spot.

For those who hate shorts: When you turn off your watch history YouTube will stop showing the shorts feed, but you can still go to a channel and watch the shorts there.

Never watched a behind the scenes YouTube video for this long ever. In addition to all of what you mentioned, there remains the fact that you guys are naturally talented communicators.

I think you get a hidden call to action when you show off how much better x thing is than y. I was probably getting solar panels and a battery but you guys showing off how fast the payoff is really hustled me along. So you dont need to outright say "Go do this" and "sign that", you can just implant ideas and then its the viewer calling themselves to action and its much harder to ignore yourself.

I want to start with this:i Besides this single thing I love the channel and the good work. This is literally my only single source of frustration regarding yours (and even more so everyone elses) shorts. Thank you for everything you're working on. Now to the rant: I don't  think I am alone on this, but I really dislike the "Evergreen" category of short-form videos; especially so when they are relased on the very platform the long-form video with all the same content was already relased. I do understand the reasoning behind them, probably a majority of the viewers haven't seen the video, and it might even capture a tiny bit of traffic for the full video;  but as a weirdo who watches practically every signle video from all the channels they're subscribed to; it just feels very frustrating to open a short just to realize it's something you've already seen - not cut into third of the view, not truncated into 1 minute and not in any way improved. For what it's worth, you're not nearly as bad in your practise of Evergreens in that regard, I am unfortunate enough to be subscribed to some channeks, which first publish the entire video (with actually interesting content), and then they slice it into 8 or so 1-minute clips with nothing new added; which will then fill the entire subscriber shorts feed. So, my 1 cent is that no one should ever relase their Evergreens on YouTube - If I ever come across it on some other platform; I will be obviously skipping it anyways, slightly chipping its engagement percent and making it look bad to the algorithm.

I see what you mean with the social connection of better views when you are on camera, but for me it's also a thought of "It's Simon's video, so I know it's interesting and trustworthy information". Because even though you can see which channel the short is from of course, it's not as obvious/direct.
