Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.
Now to ban all the rest of them. Let's start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be "helped" off the cliff.
I think even people who use facebook know its a bad thing.
Depends what you use it for.
I joined Facebook when it first came out, when it was still only for Uni students, used it for many years and stopped probably about 8-10 years ago now. Fuck, how long has it been around for?
Anyway, I've recently rediscovered Facebook as I bought an old muscle car and I've been enjoying the groups and marketplace for parts.
Anyway, just a thought from an old Facebook user.

As a video editor, let me tell you how much I hate that not only do people watch shitty vertical videos all the time, but I've had to learn how to edit the fucking things.
I hate vertical video on a professional level.
That's not just a TikTok thing though.
