This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's funny because everyone shits on tiktok for it's short videos yet I regularly watch videos that are 3-5 minutes long if not longer.

Your feed shows you what you interact with. Outside of ads I rarely see content that's not related to my interests and most of the videos I see are much longer than a vine.

Which is especially ironic to me how vines weren't considered attention span killing brain rot that everyone sees tiktok to be.

Vines were never culturally ubiquitous enough for old people to know what they were and rant about it.

Unless I'm looking up something very specific I generally don't bother with videos that are less than 15 minutes long anymore. Otherwise I feel like I'm spending more time looking for more videos than actually watching them...
