long form videos should be your main priority but you can't ignore the shorts as well. Use shorts for gaining traction, quick views and focus on diverting traffic to your main video. Since attention time decreases world wide. People tends to watch shorts more. You can get discovered there. so better take some advantage ffrom that.

shorts definitely gives you more views, people enjoy short hit of dopamine, you give them a big video they dont even consider it, they leave it halfway.

shorts are still worth it, but if your main goal is long form growth i'd put more time into long form and use shorts mainly to bring new ppl into the channel.
I think shorts are still worth for growth, But we can't ignore the long form content. If you just want to work on shorts then you have to work on the opening of the video to make it more engaging otherwise its very tough to get subscribers on short form content you also have to work to make your content which actually helpful for audience or entertain them. If you work on both short and long form then its much easier to grow because shorts can earn reach and engagement and the long form can earn the watch time and loyal subscribers. So it depends upon you which strategy you want to go with to grow your channel.

You should focus on your channel’s strength, which is long-form videos. Short-form videos should only play a supporting role, helping increase your channel’s growth and reach.

Short videos are often very engaging and can attract many subscribers, but longer videos offer greater benefits if you want a loyal audience and long-term monetization potential. I recommend doing both at the same time.

Shorts are definitely worth the time, but yes, always keep in mind that shorts are for pulling the audience, so spend less time for the shorts production, and spend rest 80% of the time for long format video production. Try replicating what your competitors are doing to save time and effort.
i believe shorts are helpful although i would not evaluate them solely based on their number of subscribers. a short may go viral nd attract thousands of subscribers, who would only have been there for that partticular video. if ur long videos are what u prioritize then i would recommend making ur shorts related to those videos.
