Short video formats on all platforms make me very quickly feel like I'm going crazy. Just one voice after another, trying to cram whatever they have to say into your ears, or one joke taken out of context, or one simplistic moral, or absurdist humor that wouldn't hold up for longer than a few seconds. My partner watches endless "reels" on Facebook, and that hurried talking they all do, with all those cuts to make sure there's no gap between words, makes me fell very weird and agitated. It's like everyone has the same voice. And then it keeps looping. I waste far too much time on Lemmy but the short video stuff seems like another level of brain melt.
