Every single time someone posts some random Tik Tok or Youtube short style video on Reddit… My blood instantly boils.

I don’t even know how to describe it, everything from the Editing, the stupid a*** click bait thumbnail, their tone… Literally all of it is just diarrhea of the mind 😣

Why is this s**** so popular? And kids are growing up watching this trash for 8 hours a day? The hell does that do to someone’s personality? Their psychological health?

How do ADULTS watch that crap non stop. How are they not embarrassed?

    It really depends on the content, and that’s the only thing I can agree with. If one is careful to “train” the algorithm to show certain things, it can be a way to pass the time.

    I usually watch them at noon while I wait for my food, because anything else requires too much focus. My eyesight is not as good as it was to read the news on the phone, so just watching a bunch of funny cats jumping around is good enough.

    I’m no one important, not a rocket scientist or quantum physics professor, so I don’t need to watch dissertations on mathematics. If I’m dumb, the world keeps spinning. I think that’s why a lot of adults have started watching those clips as well, we just don’t take ourselves so seriously anymore.
