I still don't understand the appeal of YouTube shorts... It feels like the rational behind it is "hey, I can watch 10 meaningless shorts in the same amount of time it would take to watch one video that has an actual point". I guess that's why I've never gotten in to tiktok either lol

Would it make more sense if they were labelled "YouTube Dopamine Hits" ?

[-] [email protected] 46 points 5 months ago

Is it even a dopamine hit though? I watched a handful of them and they all seemed to just be someone yelling at the camera for 5 seconds, then a 5 second shot of whatever the hell they were yelling about, then 10 to 15 seconds of them asking me to like and subscribe.

this pic goes so incredibly hard

No, that actually took effort and creativity to make. Not enough bombardment of emojis and TTS.

I use shorts for cute animal videos, that's their only legitimate purpose imo

Would that make a list of shorts a line? Can I snort them?
