So instead of wasting your life 30 seconds at a time, you can skip straight to wasting your life by minutes and hours?

- zamadatix 1y agoThere seems to be something about the "short" approach that makes it easier to actually spend more time than you would with "longer" videos. Too much of anything is bad though, one should try to avoid large amounts of passive entertainment (my reminder to get off HN for today). I also don't think I could ever spend 2 hours watching shorts and feel like I left with something worth having spent the time on, but I can tell you some movies or long form videos which had enough impact to carry in my memory through today.
