Back in the day, introducing video posts destroyed facebook, a friends chatter platform, slowly but surely. Same fate with instagram, a photography/memory platform, getting into reels and videos.
Now if I go to reddit once a month to check in what the vibe is since my “detox” I realized.
Its all designed to drain. Drain your energy, your free thought, your long term happiness. Like not even hyperbolic, this is really scary.

And we all know thanks to the c/reddit community here on lemmy: Its full of this hidden but omniprersent corpo shilling, ads and corpo censoring.
you’re right Reddit has too many short videos and gifs, mostly in portrait aspect ratios lol
A lot of people browse on their phones these days, the portrait vs landscape debate is moot.
yea my complaint isn’t mainly about the aspect ratio, moreso the prevalence, and the sources these videos are pulled from (TikTok mostly)
