I go to TikTok, shorts. I go to Youtube, shorts. I go to Instagram, shorts. I go to Facebook, shorts. I go to Imgur, shorts. I go to Pinterest, no shorts because it only plays 1 video per screen, but on mobile the screen is smaller so, shorts. I go to Reddit, shorts. I go to Bluesky, shorts. I don't go to Twitter. Tumblr is probably the only social media that isn't filled with vertical videos and that has an algorithmic feed. I go to Explore and I get dandelions. A static photo of them, not a video. I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way.

  Waiting for the Show HN browser extension that reformats all HN posts to fit into a shorts frame. Then rather than just displaying the text, it puts it in an annoying animated font. Maybe even adds an AI character to read it to you

I don't see shorts on Bluesky, but I remember seeing something about video feeds a while back. Do you use video feeds?

I guess the likes of Youtube and Facebook are trying unsuccessfully to replicate TikTok. This is effort #2 for Facebook, which is/was also trying unsuccessfully to replicate Youtube with their take on some-attention-span-needed videos. (Seriously though... Facebook's video playback UI. What the fuck is that? Why is it so bad?) I guess they don't get that there's going to be only one winner in each niche, unless TikTok goes down for political/national security reasons. Why do I need Youtube shorts if I have TikTok? Why do I need Google+ if I have Facebook? Why do I want Facebook videos if I have Youtube? Unsolved puzzle.
