    The part about tiktok and youtube shorts that feels different to me is the short form videos giving a quick little hit of enjoyment, and the drive to view more short form is strong. I absolutely hate short form, but have found myself checking youtube for some new little short video.

    That type of conditional feels detrimental to me.
