Studies of what? Bunch of teenagers that are already hooked on short-form content, whose attention span is non-existent?

You're arguing with a grifter, you know. Best case he's going to crib what you say to sound smart. Why help?

Look I get it. You hate social media and what it is doing to people's attention spans. I do too for the most part and I'm sure we agree on many things regarding this. But there is value in short form content. It's the type of content that matters, not the length. Short films, short stories, 2-3 minute songs, etc. These things can and do evoke meaningful emotional experiences. I actually made the site as an antidote to the doomscroll which many have found it helpful to be.
