My instinct would be to say, yeah, almost certainly. Not necessarily from any ads in the shorts themselves, but I’m guessing you can extract a lot more from a user who constantly engages in frenzied bursts of dopamine chasing, than one who consumes slower, longer, less frequent content. Even if the longer content technically has more ads.
