    Really it always did.

    As much as I want to know what this new platform is, I just can't
    watch that video. It might be the most insightful video in the world,
    but the portrait format (pointlessly portrait, since they only use the
    top half!) makes it unwatchable for me.

    So I'm going to have to depend on somebody else to watch it and
    summarize it for me. ;-)

    Imagine Chevy Chase saying "be the ball," but it's some dude with a basso profundo voice saying "be the game."

    The short is much better than I am at laying it down but...

    Spoiler

    (I am taking out your spoilers because I don't think the video really
    needs it)

    Imagine playing doom. Your brain is now running doom.

    Oh gog, now I'm glad I didn't watch it. What a stupid concept.

    I know people bitch about the vacuous stupidity of many YouTubers
    these days, but I never really experienced it. I guess I just happened
    to lurk in that niche of not-completely-moronic content.

    This is not You-Tube. This is YT shorts. It's basically Tik-Tok.

    I call them all "pants." If you can say it in fifteen seconds in a poorly produced video, it's probably not worth saying.

    YT Shorts is completely pointless and I wish they would stop advertising
    them on the main page.
