Strategy question

Should YouTube create a dedicated feed for short educational videos?

What this question tests

Strategic judgment on a new content vertical within an existing product, weighing demand evidence, cannibalization risk, and competitive positioning.

Clarify the proposal: a separate feed or tab for short educational content, distinct from the general Shorts feed.
Assess demand: educational content already performs well, so the question is whether a dedicated feed adds discovery value over algorithmic surfacing.
Consider cannibalization risk: a separate feed could fragment attention and reduce overall Shorts engagement rather than growing total consumption.
Consider competitive position: differentiates from TikTok's entertainment first identity, playing to YouTube's strength in long form education.
Recommend a path: pilot a dedicated feed for interested users, measuring incremental watch time versus cannibalization of the main feed.

Weighs cannibalization risk explicitly, rather than assuming a new feed is pure upside.
Ties the recommendation to YouTube's actual competitive positioning against TikTok.
Proposes a pilot with a clear incremental versus cannibalization measurement, not just launching broadly.

Assuming a new feed only adds value with no consideration of attention fragmentation.
No recommendation, just a list of considerations, when the question asks should.

How would you measure success separately from just cannibalizing the main Shorts feed?
