The internet is still new in the grand scheme of society and people haven't adjusted. They haven't learned that these short videos are programming them to not think and taking advantage of them for marketing purposes. They still find them "extremely entertaining" because they haven't considered the second order effects. There are people with genetic predisposition to alcoholism for various reasons, this is kinda like that. I have ADHD and so I am very defensive of my focus and so I will not participate in TikTok or YouTube Shorts or any of that abusive stuff because for me it deprives me significantly of my agency. For some people (most?) dissociating into TikTok (and losing agency in the process) is the point.
