I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

I hate this format of content so much. An automatically reloading, never ending stream of snippets that are hardly informative even if they try. Fucking looks like they are trying to hypnotize us.

Oh wait, they absolutely are. Stop thinking about not being able to afford a living even though you bust your ass of everyday. Stop worrying about the climate. Get a new iphone and obediently watch citizen.

This is not a defense of TikTok style short form content. It's just that from time to time, I do enjoy the shorter style videos. Like when I have 5 minutes to kill, watch a few short videos and be on my way.

What I really don't like is that if you choose the app and the last thing you watched was a short, it opens right back up to to Shorts. Very annoying.

When I have 5 minutes to kill I open Wikipedia and read the article of the day.

Reading is better for your brain and attention span, and on top of that you learn something new.

I should do this more often. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah I occasionally use Instagram and look at reels. Sometimes it's fun to catch the one snippet from a comedy sketch instead of watching the whole thing.

That said, I wouldn't miss anything if I deleted it tomorrow.

Plus they commit the biggest sin possible in video...VERTICAL VIDEO. I hate this garbage trend of everything being designed for phones. Vertical videos suck. They are terrible to watch on desktop. You can rotate your phone sideways, you can't rotate your TV, laptop, monitor, projector, etc. vertical (at least not most of the time).
