Short-form videos are basically a form of cancer that keeps you alive with shots of dopamine every 15-30 seconds. I avoid those things like the plague.
Brevity is the soul of wit
Vine understood that. TikTok doesn’t and YouTube shorts is a glitchy mess. I use an extension to hide them because of it.
Why is youtube capping to that small time frame. Even most tiktok videos are like 2 minutes long minimum. Maybe that's just the algorithm working for me, because I refuse to invest my attention in anything with that low of an information payoff.
