I’m speaking of the intentionally addictive nature of social media and the short.
Addictions can consume anyone, even the educated. Though unless it’s food, going cold turkey is always a possibility.
We all still have choices. In terms of dopamine, those dopamine hits are available elsewhere. Shorts aren’t the only source.
Feels like watching ads to me. But I’m old, so I know what an ad break (usually 3-4 ads in a row, unskippable) on tv felt like. It’s almost the same head feel watching TikTok’s as those ad breaks from back in the day.
I’m not sure why you’re angry at me about shorts. I didn’t create the advertisement adjacent format, nor do I encourage its consumption. Pointing it out is like saying: Look! Sky! Blue!
