I don’t know if I’ve experienced it before getting hooked on shorts, which I open, count to 50 bad videos and then close, only to open it again in hope of something good…
But the feeling is like that your consciousness is getting from the screen to the area behind your eyes and you suddenly see the edge of the phone, your hands, everything.
Fortunately, I was busy experiencing foreign cultures abroad when that kind of media consumption took off, so I dodged it and never got hooked. Considering that I may only live once, nothing gives me greater anxiety than imaging a life that I wasted on nothing. While this video is sort of sarcastic, it also sort of isn’t.
