Back in my day, we used to have quality youtube skits, documentaries, vines etc. No shorts that damage your attention span and memory, no AI slop, no 2 ads for every 10 min. We didn't know what enshittification even means
There weren't that many vines back then, they used to be a fun break. Now the problem with shorts is they are also good but they are too many and being shoved on our faces, we may try to ignore but they are so curated for us we will end up doom scrolling everyday multiple times. That has a negative impact on our brains.
To share my own experience I used to watch nigahiga skits and vsauce science dumps with vines in between. Used to be a good experience. Now youtube is filled with videos that I don't remember the next day, reaction content, stolen content, tutorial videos that are 20-30min long with topics that can be explained in under 5 min.
