I hope that YouTube Shorts die a fiery death--and TikTok, the root of all evil
Yeah yeah yeah, I don't like anything--excluding my last comment, which would make things awkward.
I have almost exclusively ignored Shorts, even when they were done by a channel that I follow. I know that there is some good content on TikTok--it makes it to Imgur. Statistically speaking, there must be something worthwhile in the depths of YouTube Shorts, but I'm not looking for it! Joe Scott released a Short. I have enjoyed every full-length video, but a Short? It was annoying and he didn't even act like he was on drugs. TikTok is popular because the average person needs to be medicated. They want the equivalent of channel surfing, but instead of boring programs and commercials, everyone is on drugs. Influenzas like Shorts because they require less effort per minute. So, I watched Joe Scott's Shorts, and hated all of them. They were harshly edited to fit as much information as possible in 60 seconds, but here's the thing: I can't accelerate them! I am sure people say "I have ADHD! I can't watch a 2-minute video!" I have ADHD, I watch a 2-minute video in 60 seconds! So Shorts are low-quality videos, but I still can't pay attention, because they are too slow, and then they end before I feel like I got anything to show for my time. Then, for no apparent reason, they restart. Why do they restart?! |

Youtube is competing with the Ultimate Evil for eyeballs connected to dopamine pumps. I recall the tin-foil hat people saying in the 1960s that China would subvert the USofA with pornography. I wondered how they could do that with that, and yet here we are today. There is a bright line from the Stonewall Riots to Crossdresser Story Hour. |
What annoys me is that many channels have longer content, but then chop it up into 4 minute sections and flood the channel with 15 clips that are all derivatives of the original.
I never want a 4 minute clip of anything to be suggested to me. If something is interesting, it's because the time it takes to go deeper exceeds the 4 minute threshold. |

It seems like the only time that most people hold their phone in landscape mode they should be holding it in portrait.
For some reason, often when people go to show me photos on their phone, they aren't holding it in the same mode the pictures were taken. |
I'm always telling my wife that you take a photo in landscape unless you're taking a portrait (or other framing requiring height to be emphasized).
