So are 10 second videos.
Maybe the next one won’t be boring though
Or the next one
One more video and ill stop
Millions upon millions disagree. Some people are alcoholics and some people can enjoy a drink now and then. It’s the same with short form video content. Not everyone is an addict and I like that I can search something and actually get answers instead of an article or 10 minute video begging for subscribers and 1/3 of the video being an intro.

If only I could get addicted to something socially acceptable in under 35 minutes, like doing chores, or at least maths
Unfortunately the addictability and social acceptability are mutually exclusive. I can’t think of anything that’s both. Maybe coffee.
I’m a proud #CoffeeHater!
For what it’s worth, getting in the habit of making excuses for one’s use is part of alcoholism.
I’m not an alcoholic and I’m not addicted to TikTok because I watch it at the airport.
Right, exactly this. Also not ALL of the stuff that’s shortform is brain rot or nonsense. There’s so many different people doing so many different things and if you give it a chance enough to find the things you like it can be as enjoyable as a long form YouTube video or whatever form of media you do consider to be more respectable than short form videos. Dismissing ALL short form content is just silly. And sure if you actually just don’t enjoy it than that’s your thing.
You’re right that there is a lot of good content, too. The problem is that a platform doesn’t care as long as you stay and watch, also you’ll need quite a lot of effort to find your own good content. So when I come to YouTube for something and end up watching more, I always know that I failed to YouTube trying to rip me off
They should go do a crossword puzzle and get off my lawn.
Tbh, doesn’t sound like a bad option.
Yeah there’s probably a park with a lot more grass
Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane
also not a fan of them, but people are enjoying it. so by definition it’s not boring for them
