Currently, both YouTube and other platforms are promoting short-form content to remain competitive, but are still reserving longer content (under 1 hour) for existing users. So you should post both styles
posting long and short on same channel?

why not, both have their purpose. shorts can garner you more followers esp. if your content is really good. mind sharing what's your niche?

In my opinion, the best approach today is not choosing between Shorts or long-form videos it’s using both strategically.
Shorts are great for discovery and fast exposure, while long-form builds authority, retention and real audience connection. They complement each other.
That said, the biggest enemy of a new channel is anxiety. Many people rush uploads, change strategy every week, and panic when results don’t come fast. A smarter move is to build a small content buffer for example, prepare and schedule enough videos for the next 1–2 months, let them run consistently, and focus on analyzing comments and audience feedback instead of constantly changing direction.
If you’re running faceless channels, it’s even more important to avoid doing “more of the same.” YouTube is clearly cracking down on repetitive and templated content. Invest more time in the script quality and create a visual identity that feels authentic and recognizable. That’s what separates real channels from mass-produced ones.
Also, remember: quantity is not quality. Posting more doesn’t automatically mean better results. Focus on delivering solid, engaging content that actually brings value to your audience.
Whether you’re growing organically or using tools like phone farms to accelerate exposure, the core principle remains the same: good content wins. Phone farms should be used to boost videos that are already strong not to compensate for weak content. If the content is good, organic growth naturally follows.
Consistency, patience, and quality always beat shortcuts in the long run.

Personally, I think both have their place. Short videos are good for quick views, but longer ones help with watch time and retention.
