Well youtube has both.

And I hope the long form videos take some sort video cues and don't have 3 minute long rambling intros anymore. The one nice things about shorts is they get to the point.

    Short-form videos are basically a form of cancer that keeps you alive with shots of dopamine every 15-30 seconds. I avoid those things like the plague.

    Why is youtube capping to that small time frame. Even most tiktok videos are like 2 minutes long minimum. Maybe that's just the algorithm working for me, because I refuse to invest my attention in anything with that low of an information payoff.
