Short form video is basically worthless outside of comedy and cute animal videos. The format does not allow enough information to determine whether the information provided is accurate or not, for videos that have facts in them. Every time I watch a short form video I feel an overwhelming urge not to trust what I saw and verify it elsewhere, now I just don’t want short form videos at all.
The modern propaganda machine does not run on meaningful facts, nor does it give a shit about not being able to convince you.
It cares about convincing people in general.
Short form video is tailored for the fast, instinctive, emotional brain. Not the slower, deliberative, logical brain.
