I guess I might actually go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight then...

Haha yes you and me both. These shorts are horrible. I know everyone hates on them, but they are brain crack for me and I can watch them for hours.

I'm pretty sure they devastate your ability to focus though. I really notice it when I've been watching heavily. Something like chronic weed smoking in effect.

I never got on tiktok thank goodness.

And no I'm I'm not going to pretend I watch a lot of enlightening long form documentaries. It's all a guy in Pakistan making gears followed by a dog falling off a boat followed by a short clip from a movie and I don't recall any of it 30 seconds later. Pure brain eating dopamine.

Ads seem to be still working. If you have the patience to reload non working videos. So there’s that.

So in the stats it will look like a case where the revenues remained steady but the bandwidth costs went down. Great success :)
