I've been playing a few of the lowest stakes tournaments online and noticed the players play terribly when short stacked, particularly when the average stack is 30BB>, how can I go about exploiting this?

You can exploit this by adjusting your calling/shoving range.

Put a bunch of time into learning all your std shortstack ranges off the table, and then in game it will be easier to know which spots to adjust and jam wider/tighter vs different villains, and which hands to add to your ranges first, which hands not to use etc. You won't be able to correctly make these adjustments if you don't know this stuff.

Invest in an ICMizer sub and run a million spots/mess with hypothetical spots and ranges and you will improve pretty fast as long as you put the work in.

From my experience, people play better at 30 bb than deep stacked. Maybe you are understimating pushes that seem loose to you that may be correct.

30 bb is actually rather easy to play and there are l,ess errors here than at say 200+ bb imo.
