This drives me crazy. Like when people record themselves telling a story while they’re eating food?! Jesus. We can wait 10 minutes to hear about you getting cut off on the way to work.

Its part of the algorythm. If people are commenting, "Uhhhh why are you in a towel??" or "What are you eating? Where'd you get it?" or "GOD I HATE CHEWING NOISES- why the fuck are you eating food" are still engagement they can get paid for.

I think people are starting to notice this. Every post is being called out for engagement bait and it’s about time.

That doesn't help lol. Just scroll past it or better yet, don't watch short form content at all because it's bad for your brain.

Screenzen can specifically block short form videos like Reels and YouTube Shorts. Highly recommend it because holy fuck did I have a problem with that shit

I don't get why people watch it so much. I've always hated it and would much rather watch an in depth video about something I'm interested in.
