I still remember YouTube starting out before Google and in those times, it was a remarkable feat just to get vids beyond 5 min let alone an hour. Now we’re back to vids just being under a min. Crazy world.
1min? Only if half the screen is someone playing with slime or subway surfer
The complete lack of attention span is staggering. Half a video of slime, other half some girl doing makeup or pretending to be multiple characters in some nonsense scenario.
There’s loads of quality content on YouTube. You just have to create your subscriber list and not pay attention to the Home tab, which is, and always has been, utter garbage.
my home tab is largely great, you need to browbeat the algorithm into submission more
Yeah, I’m subscribed to over 4000 channels so that keeps my home screen popping with a lot of channels. I’m already currently subscribed to, but you’re right it is a lot of garbage to go through.
YouTube is not really ‘social media’ unless by that one means ‘audiovisual media created by non-corporate entities, fellow members of society’. I guess it can be if all you watch is GRWM and ‘daily updates’ videos…
Wait until you hear about people calling chat apps like WhatsApp social media.
Or fucking Venmo
“If you can comment on it, it’s social media.”
I can comment on how stupid that is, but that doesn’t make it social media. The term was invented to describe the likes of Facebook, and it’s predecessors and … Postdecessors. Antecedents? No that’s the same. Successors. There we go. Had to work that out.
Someone I know can’t even finish most tiktoks.
I can’t finish a tiktok video at all. The insane amount of brain-melting shit all over the screen, horrible subtitle styles, video cuts, and ubiquitously sped-up shit makes me super uncomfortable.
You forgot the repeatedly, overused and brain wrecking sound FX ! Horrible… How can an human support those uncanny sound effects again and again… And again !!!
Yes those are not new and were already present in movies YEARS ago ! But the same sound effect every second on every tiktok? Ugh… Horrible.
You’re telling on Yourself or you just haven’t used it long enough for it to learn you because the algorithm show shows you what you want way better than YouTube shorts I’ve found. Remember that senator that was saying TikTok was just full of thirst traps…
I’ve never used the app and never will, I’ve just seen shitty reposted TikTok garbage on other sites. Why are you bringing up YouTube shorts? I have those blocked. Fuck short form vertical video garbage, and fuck an algorithm “learning” what I want.
Then you just lied and are dishonest, so your opinion is worthless to me carry-on
Well, me neither, but that’s just because I’m not in the market for 15yos dancing to bad music.
I don’t even use the app myself, and it was wild seeing their feed be mostly K-Pop Demon Hunters stuff, but then he looked up potatoes au gratin, watched 1 video of a recipe, and then his feed was nothing but potatoes au gratin. 😵💫
Even Vine was 7 seconds
Vine knew what it was and succeeded in encouraging creativity to fit the format. I kind of missed it, but the best of compilations really show off how entertaining getting right to the punchline can be.
Yeah, it was a sad day when tiktok extended the length of their videos beyond 1 minute so the olds could figure out how to do a video
Fellow kids, somebody please explain to an old person (not me, obviously) what is happening here. Much appreciated.
- People are sharing the social media apps installed on their smartphones.
- A user comments “Youtube in 2023” as a way to mock it, as they find it obsolete, antiquated, outdated. The year that was current in this screenshot was 2023
- The original commenter is confused by the mocking comment
- Another user is making fun of the user that sent the second comment, claiming they got their attention span eroded by Tiktok short videos and cannot stay focused on the longer videos present on Youtube
Sleeze is showing off apps… For some reason. Eliya has some problem with using YouTube. Mar thinks eliya has fried her brain watching too much tiktok (a video platform with notoriously short videos) and can’t watch YouTube videos because they’re “too long”
Can you explain this again with more skibidi? Thanks!
Youtube is dead
I watched a video on it earlier. Am I a necromancer?
“Reddit is very alive”
It literally is
Apparently we have different definitions of what alive social media is
What’re we doing here.
