Right, exactly this. Also not ALL of the stuff that's shortform is brain rot or nonsense. There's so many different people doing so many different things and if you give it a chance enough to find the things you like it can be as enjoyable as a long form YouTube video or whatever form of media you do consider to be more respectable than short form videos. Dismissing ALL short form content is just silly. And sure if you actually just don't enjoy it than that's your thing.

You're right that there is a lot of good content, too. The problem is that a platform doesn't care as long as you stay and watch, also you'll need quite a lot of effort to find your own good content. So when I come to YouTube for something and end up watching more, I always know that I failed to YouTube trying to rip me off
