i absolutely hate short form videos i prefer to watch 2 hour videos 1 hour is good too 30 to 20 minutes is the sweet spot 1 minute videos are crazy
-
Those are some interesting apps of choice. Good thing people share these, in case people don't know about them yet.
-
Youtube is dead
-
Fellow kids, somebody please explain to an old person (not me, obviously) what is happening here. Much appreciated.

- People are sharing the social media apps installed on their smartphones.
- A user comments "Youtube in 2023" as a way to mock it, as they find it obsolete, antiquated, outdated. The year that was current in this screenshot was 2023
- The original commenter is confused by the mocking comment
- Another user is making fun of the user that sent the second comment, claiming they got their attention span eroded by Tiktok short videos and cannot stay focused on the longer videos present on Youtube

Sleeze is showing off apps... For some reason. Eliya has some problem with using YouTube. Mar thinks eliya has fried her brain watching too much tiktok (a video platform with notoriously short videos) and can't watch YouTube videos because they're "too long"

who else is here in 2025?
-
In all 2025 of em?
-
Nah, I don't think anyone is 2025 years old.
-
No they said in 2025, it must be like a country or something

2023 in 2025 (ಠ_ಠ)

I still remember YouTube starting out before Google and in those times, it was a remarkable feat just to get vids beyond 5 min let alone an hour. Now we're back to vids just being under a min. Crazy world.

There's loads of quality content on YouTube. You just have to create your subscriber list and not pay attention to the Home tab, which is, and always has been, utter garbage.
-
I'm not hating or anything—and you're right, at least with what I've seen I do get a lot of shorts based on what I personally subscribe to. I don't always get that but the ones I like I already recognize who they're from. I was mainly just pointing out how its changed over time to have shorter videos. People still make longer vids, yes. All I'm saying is once upon a time, people were fighting to get longer videos. It's just silly to me that now because Google has to "compete" with TikTok, they purposefully embed this kind of thing on their platform which, as I say, is just silly to me. No hate... just silly.

Yeah, I’m subscribed to over 4000 channels so that keeps my home screen popping with a lot of channels. I’m already currently subscribed to, but you’re right it is a lot of garbage to go through.

1min? Only if half the screen is someone playing with slime or subway surfer

Then watch a six part episode of Dr Who from 1976 for instance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_of_the_Daleks
It's good to have a pot of coffee and to do some knitting while watching.
The content is good, the pacing is just slow like molasses, they didn't produce that much television at that time, so they were happy to get 6 weeks out of that plot.

YouTube is not really 'social media' unless by that one means 'audiovisual media created by non-corporate entities, fellow members of society'. I guess it can be if all you watch is GRWM and 'daily updates' videos...
-
Wait until you hear about people calling chat apps like WhatsApp social media.
-
In a society that uses terms such as "fake news" and "peaceful war", I'm not surprised words have lost meaning in all areas, lol.
-
Or fucking Venmo

There are plenty of smaller content creators that are interactive with the comment section. Then there is also just the comment section like we're doing right now. There are also live streams that get interactive as well. It's absolutely a social media platform.
-
Discussion boards existed way before what people consider 'social media' (MySpace, Facebook, and the list goes on), places where people talk not about a topic at hand but themselves. If you consider ALL OF IT social media then I guess I agree, sure. And live streams about themselves and not, like, an open discussion about a given topic is certainly what one would consider 'social media', but like I said it's all about what you do with the platform.

Even Vine was 7 seconds
-
Vine knew what it was and succeeded in encouraging creativity to fit the format. I kind of missed it, but the best of compilations really show off how entertaining getting right to the punchline can be.
-
Yeah, it was a sad day when tiktok extended the length of their videos beyond 1 minute so the olds could figure out how to do a video
