I had this discussion once before, I don't remember where, with I taking your position. The other guy seemed to think that entertainment was fungible, and so the entertainment of short form video was objectively better than long form, since it could theoretically be turned off at any point unlike a movie, and since it had infinite variety. Which I guess makes sense if you believe the fungibility, but I can't imagine associating in real life with such a person.

The "I can turn it off unlike a movie" idea is wild. We've had the ability to pause and resume long-form TV/movies for decades.

Heck, how does that person think people read books? Six to ten hour sitting marathons?
