I don’t know if I’ve experienced it before getting hooked on shorts, which I open, count to 50 bad videos and then close, only to open it again in hope of something good…

But the feeling is like that your consciousness is getting from the screen to the area behind your eyes and you suddenly see the edge of the phone, your hands, everything.

I hate this mindset. Humanity is definitely not a virus. There’s so many tribes and small farmers and fishermen who respect nature and live with it in harmony.

Assholes and the super wealthy are the viruses.

Oh and by the way, maybe every organism‘s cells nuclei are viruses (all multi cell organisms) - there’s evidence that the nucleus is a virus. So maybe we, as living beings, are viruses after all? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_eukaryogenesis

    This is actually why horses did not develop a society as humanity.

    See, nowadays, the horse is superior to the human in every possible way but the intellect, but every time a horse capable of understanding what humanity does and did, they have to puke and instantly die. So basically our society has only survived this long against a horse takeover because they are physically unable to puke.

    Likes from logged in views do count, the like to view ratio is higher due to that.

    A German YouTuber tested it with an unlisted video, I can’t find it as of now but I do find a lot of deleted videos in my liked ones…

    Basic theory as of the time of the video is that they want to go against bot views. Short views did not decline, only long form video, and of those the people with mostly desktop views are hit the most.

    Edit: found it!
