Yes indeed - it’s basically a Star Trek version of “Duck Amuck.” Very lightweight, but I’m enjoying it more than the actual shorts. The first one is linked here.
The videos have made me completely disinterested in even looking at the preview first issue comic.
I don’t want to reward the behaviour in any way. One viewing per very short Trek is all they will get from me.
Paramount can gauge the success from how much repeated viewing these the narrow slice of the mostly American male population of an age to have loved 90s humour. Maybe they think it’s got high overlap with Berman-era fans. I’m dubious but data will tell the story.

Is it bad etiquette to link directly to the comic? I don’t see any other monetization on it; seems promotional?

Well, the comic is by a completely different creative team…

Oh, I completely misunderstood the promotional copy for the comic then. It sounded like the EP for the animated videos was the lead for the comics.
In that case, I will give the preview a view. IDW has delivered some good comedic Trek content.
