I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

      Giving the gray-scale thing a try, I think the thing that sets modern short form content apart is how fast, snappy and easy to scroll it is though

      Rarely have more than half a second of downtime between shorts, I think that is the issue recently

      For me it’s certainly the short form content, as I’ve found myself getting hooked on it on PC to the point I have to snap out of it and instantly close the tab once I realise what’s happening. This isn’t happening with my normal subscription feed, because it’s not a never ending stream of content.
