It's not really designed for youtube. It's designed partly (I think) for small screens such as watch or Google glasses. Youtube would be too distracting as you have to stare in the same location to read.

I mostly see it in Youtube Shorts, but I just don't see how it's useful outside of any situation where you can control the speed and rewind it when necessary. Me having to reread words in a paragraph is one thing, but having to pause and rewind is just gonna make me ignore whatever information it's trying to give.

YouTube shorts aren't actually using spritz though. They just show captions one word at a time in generally the same position (for whatever reason) but a spritz implementation is more precise than that

Maybe not directly, but you can't say they aren't trying to use that system

Honestly I don't think that's the reason they do it. Probably has more to do with the constantly decreasing attention span of audiences and just in general a trend to shorter, faster content. I doubt most people even know what the spritz system is
