My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Honestly short form videos are so dangerous to my already short attention span

Doesn't help that even YouTube is shoving them down people's throats now

Because the video is short, people don't need a seek bar right? Right?

You can somewhat avoid them on YouTube, but they're really annoying on Instagram, given that I'm using the platform for photography, and augmented by the fact that I can't disable autoplay.

You can't really avoid them on YouTube mobile, you get a row of shorts every 2 or 3 normal videos in the list

Yeah, you might be right. I haven't checked the YouTube app in a while, which reminds me I have to get around installing Revanced.

I've looked at revanced but the UI/UX kinda sucks imo

Don't watch them then? You can blame everything on other things, or you can avoid short form content.

You can't avoid it when it's shoved in your face every 3 videos you scroll past on mobile
