    How many quick short videos can one consume before they become tired of them? What is the bizarre appeal to that crap instead of actually doing something?

    Yes I am typing here on Lemmy, you could make an argument, but damn you see ten short videos you have seen them all.

      For me it’s news snippets, recipe ideas, 3d print ideas, and short form comedy. I look at it maybe 15min daily. Sometimes days without. My wife probably does 2hrs a day (stay home mother, homeschool teacher, honored caregiver). For her it’s the entertainment that can be quickly put down, little investment involved.

        I can’t imagine. I can get all of that elsewhere, video is such a slow delivery…

        There is something just wrong with quick cuts and fast in your face stuff. I swear it’s a simple dumbing down plus dopamine injection. It can’t be good for you.
