it's so odd how most socmeds push out video formatting as "more digestible" to the major audience but then stick them in algorithms that don't allow people to sit and digest. it's just one thing after the next after the next. Don't even think about rewatching the one clip you actually liked! you've already lost it cause you scrolled too far and you didn't insta-follow the creator.Ā like I can get how not everyone feels as if reading comes as naturally as breathing, but, man, does it feel like taking a deep breath lately.Ā |

I actually miss when the internet was mostly words. It felt slower in a good way, you had to imagine things instead of having everything shown to you instantly. Reading also makes you engage a little more than just scrolling past endless videos<33 |

it is strange -- i definitely find video easier to consume (rather than digest) when i dont feel like doing much. like if im sick and i dont really want to stare at words but tbh sometimes i even find films too stimulating & headache inducing. i used to use tiktok when i was younger but i think it would totally leave me completely drained now. whenever im sat w/ friends scrolling shortform stuff it just seems like so much effort to process everything flung at you .
also that last sentence is str8 poetry dude :)
