    It’s an addiction. No other way to describe it. Like your coke dealer ran out so you gotta switch to crack instead.

      It’s not really an ‘addiction.’ It’s a culture.

      People don’t value things that take time or effort anymore. All they want is their instant-gratification to forget about their shitty lives a little bit longer. Short-form video and posts provide this for them.

      It’s all according to plan to keep people apathetic until the day they die. That way, they never fight back against the people pulling their strings.
