Every single time someone posts some random Tik Tok or Youtube short style video on Reddit..... My blood instantly boils.

I don't even know how to describe it, everything from the Editing, the stupid a*** click bait thumbnail, their tone..... Literally all of it is just diarrhea of the mind ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Why is this s**** so popular? And kids are growing up watching this trash for 8 hours a day? The hell does that do to someone's personality? Their psychological health?

How do ADULTS watch that crap non stop. How are they not embarrassed?

I'm not a TikTok user, but I've been shown some very funny clips on there. I think there is some good content and creativity happening on there. But I think the constant scrolling through short clips is doubtlessly terrible for people's minds. Not to mention the algorithmic control, limits on speech, etc.
