    The point is short form content enables that behaviour more than other things. Its taken off specifically because its addicting and makes you think “its only a short/reel/tiktok just one more… okay one more…etc” that you dont get with hour long netflix episodes.

    I simply haven’t seen anything to support this claim.

    No one is arguing otherwise and long form content just existing doesnt disprove that short form drives higher engagement

    You haven’t established anything to disprove. You’ve just asserted it with some personal anecdote about missing a gym appointment.

    Its like saying “Taylor swift songs are the most popular” and replying “but ACDC exists?”

    It’s like saying Taylor Swift isn’t inside the top 10 of the Billboard Top 100 so why do you keep insisting that her overwhelming popularity is corrupting America’s fragile young egos?
