Am I the only person who feels pretty neutral about short-form videos? Vine was a thing and nobody was complaining about that. I used TikTok for a bit and it was ok for entertainment but I don’t feel like the short-form videos were particularly addictive. When I was a kid, ads on tv were our short-videos. Memes are pretty brain-rotty too if you think about it. I put them all in the same category - just silly entertainment to chuckle at during downtime. I quit TikTok after the ban drama etc. and I haven’t missed it. On the other hand people bitch about people making dance videos in public and sure that can be annoying but then: I think it’s cool that kids get some motivation to dance. Obviously any easily consumed thing is going to be a problem for some people but I still feel like the particular hate short-form vids get is more about old folks (I am old folks) by default hating everything kids do.
