how old are you? the avg ~20 year old has indeed already grown up with addictive social media
youtube came out 20 years ago, the iphone 19 years ago, instagram 15 years ago, musical.ly 11 years ago and merged with tiktok 7 years ago...
we are so cooked frfr
old enough to have stated short form content for a very specific reason - things were absolutely not the same prior to infinite scrolling. if you're twenty and here that's cool , it's also markedly below the median HN user age from what I gather
Can confirm, although I won’t be 20 until tomorrow (:
Nothing you listed ever felt “new”, it’s always just sort of been around.
