What if Chess.com added Shorts?

I think this is a very interesting idea, but it would have to be done right. It can't just be like YouTube or TikTok, where anyone can submit anything. It would have to be more like ESPN Verts, where it goes through a pipeline. First, AI would have to get rid if spam. This would get rid of about 90% of the clips. Next, employees would watch the rest and determine if they are released or not. There are a couple major hurdles though: launch and commentary. There would be streamer/teaching/tournament clips woth audio, but there would be a lot of game clips with no audio. Chess.com would have two options: hire a lot of employees to voice them or use AI. AI would be easier, especially with the resources that they have, but if they did it wrong, they would receive a lot of backlash. They could also give featured players a permanent flair and/or a membership. There could also be a link to the stream/game. Does anyone else think this is a good idea, or is it just me?

Are you suggesting that they add this as a feature on the chess.con website?

Why is it necessary that chess.com do this? Why not just watch tiktoks about chess etc. Honestly, I just want a site to play chess on and occasionally use the forums.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Chess has benefits for the brain. This feature would neutralize the benefits.

Avatar of Abirdwithinternetyt

We don't need every website there is adopting that feature.

All jokes aside, then Chess.com would just become another once great-in my opinion-website that was overrun by the brainrot that is 90% of the modern internet.

I imagined video trash like "I am doing it for the achievement" and "Sing the name of the user above"
