Short form videos are fucking digital opium. I hate it. I deliberately do not have instagram/YT/tiktok accounts with the intention of avoiding it, but I have repeatedly found myself watching a short vid sent from a friend before I find myself scrolling and then snapping back to attention, 40+ minutes later, like some Jekyl/Hyde shit. I imagine it’s what having an epileptic seizure is like. I just lose track of time completely and I hate it.

Heyyy, now I get to enjoy some copium for being such a dinosaur and resisting to use it as often as I can

Gosh, it’s like every time some big genuine shitshow is about to be revealed, we get to enjoy some surface-level bullshit distraction. What are the odds?
