Short videos get killed by the YouTube algorithm since it’s difficult to show ads.

Right! Exactly!

That’s why I’m curious if it’s possible for creators to make 1-2 sentence videos that are profitable enough for the platform those videos are on that they can pay the creators well.

I think that's where TikTok and other emerging video platforms might have an edge.

Imgur includes a fair bit of video with roughly a 60s cap.

Monetisation seems mostly to be based around branding / influencing.
