The Problem

The problem space revolves around content creation and the challenges faced by content creators in growing their audience, managing time constraints, and seeking a simple all-in-one platform.

This has led to a problem statement focusing on the impact on the creativity and originality of short videos shared and consumed on YouTube. Further research has been conducted specifically on YouTube Shorts to gain deeper insights into the issue.
