    The part about tiktok and youtube shorts that feels different to me is the short form videos giving a quick little hit of enjoyment, and the drive to view more short form is strong. I absolutely hate short form, but have found myself checking youtube for some new little short video.

    That type of conditional feels detrimental to me.

      Odysee doesn’t have that, it feels nice. I wish all my favorite YouTube channels were synced there.

        Odysee has videos? I’ve been using it for… 3D printing.
