'TikTok brain' may be coming for your kid's attention span::Emerging research suggests that TikTok's rapid-fire short videos are affecting the attention spans of its younger users, making it harder for them to engage in activities that require more sustained attention.

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.

Odysee doesn't have that, it feels nice. I wish all my favorite YouTube channels were synced there.

Odysee has videos? I've been using it for... 3D printing.
