Shout out to /u/Liberal_Antipopulist, who had a great post on a related topic that got me thinking about this – https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1lisl4n/take_brainrot_is_a_market_failure_and_we_need_to/
12 years ago [“Vertical Video Syndrome”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dechvhb0Meo) was very popular on Reddit. If you ever posted a vertical video people would berate you and sometimes link or reference this video.
Quote from the video: “There’s more and more people addicted to posting vertical videos. It’s not crack or nothin, but it’s still really bad.”
I think it was more like crack than we realized.
Personally I watch YouTube shorts because they don’t have ads.
That’s it.
