    Soooo... I just spent 30 mins mindlessly watching Ray William Johnson's videos instead of doing something productive. My exams are literally tomorrow!!

    I wanna ask y'all something again. How many minutes or hours you have spent watching sub 1 minute videos instead of doing your chores or sleeping? I wanna feel like I am not alone, OK?
    AND WHILE WE ARE ON IT, how many Andrew Tate videos have y'all encountered? Mine is about 10+ on a good day.

    Also, if you are wondering why I would spend my precious time watching a 40 year old man rant in his videos is because I was looking for this! https://youtube.com/shorts/61Cwf7-Z_Ow?feature=share

    I get sidetracked by shitposts and other random memes that pop up on my yt page. They’re usually related to whatever meme is trending at the time (ex: 4gs on the jeep), or they are just some goofy cat videos. As for TikTok, I dont have it, as I hate it. As for Andrew Tate, the only reason why I know about him is through memes. I also waste my time watching motivational vids knowing damn well I ain’t making those changes to my lifestyle just yet, especially in the late hours of night. Or, I’ll be on the beamng forums, like right now, because it is a quarter to 2:00 rn.

    Don't ya hate it when you wanted to watch more of (insert something you like here), and the next video is a RELIGIOUS VIDEO ASKING FOR LIKES AND SUBS!!

    Also, you gain my respect for not using TikTok. A sigma does not watch girls dancing to "Mother" (songs badass tho).

    I'm 100% anti-TikTok
    Firstly, TikTok send biometric data to a country that excels at mass surveillance.
    Secondly, TikTok uses algorithms to keep its users(more like used, people being used by TikTok, if a product is free, you are the product) hooked, this is detrimental to brain function. People who use TikTok frequently often have trouble concentrating.
    Last but not least, TikTok promote self-censorship, more and more people use words like "unalive" even on other non-censored platform at the result of being influenced or manipulated by TikTok. Newspeak is coming.

    Cancel TikTok

    Holy shit, that is one hell of a reply!
    And I support Cancel TikTok, but I was just asking if people mindlessly scrolled through either Vine 2.0 or YT Shorts.

    But damn, that felt personal.

    Not really, no. There's such a flood of clips that just aren't entertaining. I'm usually listening to music and some of them are pointless if muted. I hate the reel format where you can't see how long a video is or fast forward to get a quicker look at what happens.

    I waste much more of my time on music database websites and various forums.

    No.Almost no.
    I haven't downloaded TikTok on my phone since its popularity rised in around 2017 or 2018.I HATE all sorts of shorts because they usually promote wrong knowledges and fake news while their producers are just want to get their subs and likes rised and make money.
    For me they are not entertaining at all.I would spend my time on watching a 10+ minutes video rather than watch a bunch of shorts that mistakes usually go through the whole video.
    Also,I support Cancel TikTok too.I COMPLETELY HATE IT

    Since people are shitting on TikTok, should I make a seperate thread for all of y'all to express your anger there?

    I just wanna see some Ray William Johnson fans here
