Question: How does Shorts improve discoverability?
- Keeps channel active in-between music video releases.
- Taps into a new audience via the Shorts Feed.
- Promotes long-form content or released music.
- All of the above.
Explanation
Shorts improve discovery by keeping an artist’s channel active between major release moments. The Shorts Feed can expose music and artist content to viewers who may not already follow the channel. Short-form content can also support release strategy by directing attention toward songs, videos, and catalog moments. Together, these uses strengthen audience growth, engagement, and promotion within YouTube’s music ecosystem.
Why the other options are incorrect
Channel activity is incomplete because activity alone does not cover new audience discovery or release promotion.
Shorts Feed is incomplete because feed discovery is only one way Shorts support growth.
Long-form promotion is incomplete because Shorts also help maintain consistency and reach new viewers.
