It was not temporary for me. I had to go into my settings and delete my changes to get it working again.

Nah, they're awful. Your explanation is like someone saying, "Nazis are awful," and you saying "Depends. Fritz had me over for dinner and him and his wife are pretty nice, and Hanz is good defense for a game of footie."

Just because there are exceptions to the rule, doesn't make the entire format, as a whole, not awful. The idea, right down to its core of being 1) easily accessible 2) quickly digestible and 3) easy to market with turns it into a party where everyone is jumping around saying "Hey, hey! Look at me! Looook at meeeeeee! Please give me your attention!"

This is why 50% of TikTok users surveyed said that videos over one minute long are stressful for them, it's completely devastated people's attention spans.

But this still ignores the ultimate cardinal sin of video content: forcing the vertical aspect ratio in order to facilitate easier scrolling, even though OUR BINOCULAR VISION IS OPTIMIZED FOR WIDESCREEN VIEWING.

I swear that these board of director types are some of the most dense and out of touch people on the planet. It's crazy how we reward them for their stupidity in exchange for their unbridled greed.

You can also use the "zap" feature. Just use the lightning bolt icon to the left of the eyedropper and it'll skip step 4. I also found this to work better because selecting shorts ended up always selecting the entire videos section as well.

Looks like it briefly went down in 1995 and then started climbing around 9/11 and the war boom. Didn't the dot com bubble happen around 1995? I figure that could account for the random downturn.

I'm not sure what you mean by your comment, but I was just making a joke about how dumb people's language on social media is these days

The dude fired a bunch of people, never paid their severance and refuses to communicate with them. The dude is a fucking complete sociopath. He lies to investors about deadlines, he lies about the potential of his technology to consumers, and he lies to his own staff.

You can stop simping for him, he doesn't want to ride your dick, mate.

They're basically money junkies. They never got past puberty because their only drive is to secure more for themselves, which is like pre-proto-primate logic.

It's nothing different than the fent addicts I see on the daily.

lol threw his own kid under the bus for a reward he didn't need

Yeah, why didn't he simply write "Elon dont have mood for #vibes"?

they just have no way to sift through it all the data

They don't need to. Selective enforcement.
