    Of course it’s a minority opinion… my opinion. One mans opinion.

    Also I don’t like YT shorts. I’m still able to focus on a topic for more than 30 seconds. There are a few creators that do interesting content. I’m probably too old for content that is created for people born around the year 2000. I prefer stuff that doesn’t make me feel the creator is an Idiot entertaining a bunch of morons.

    Yes, as a teen/twen I also was all for fun… but back then there wasn’t the WWW, Facebook, Youtube or what other long/shortlived platforms there are.

    Maybe that’s why I seldome consume content that isn’t on the mental fast food side.

      Oh, I’m not really young, and I do like long form stuff, but less in the form of video content. Either reading, audio books, or podcasts are generally my longform type entertainment. I so occasionally watch 10-30 minute videos, but again most of my intake like that, especially informational instead of just comedy, is in the form of either podcast or straight text.

      I work IT and I don’t like video demonstrations, but instead prefer web pages that explain and give either images or text examples.
