Add "Clips" or another specific section for super-short videos

Recently I have been increasingly frustrated by having to cruise through page after page of videos under 20 seconds to see what's actually watchable in the video categories. I don't think, as one of the front page polls asked, that we should get rid of such videos altogether: some folks clearly enjoy them enough to collect gobsmacking amounts of them to upload here.

But they aren't really videos either at ten, fifteen, or twenty seconds: some GIFs are longer than that now.

Instead, one solutions that could easily be automated for the mods would be to categorize tiny vids as "Clips" instead of "Videos" and to place them in their own category. Just set something up so that anything that passes the mod queue under twenty seconds, or thirty seconds, or even a minute gets labeled a "Clip."

I'd further propose either decreasing the rewards offered for "Clips" or increasing the rewards for actual "Videos" in order to incentivize uploaders to improve the quality of their submissions.

Thoughts?

^^I understand your frustration with the short-videos that are mostly a dish for fremium users.
however, Cost of Living has gone really up worldwide and this quiet corner of the porn interwebs is heavily affected. look at the moderators: they have to deal with pictures, still images, when the Porn part of Wbwcom lies in the beautiful amateur Video Galleries!

want to add "Shorts" tag for the shorter videos (less than 30 seconds) and easy way to filter them out.
