100%. My nephew (also ND) sends me YT shorts all the time and I can feel the brain cells dying each time a spoken word gets highlighted or the place where the spoken words are written get rearranged or the background doesn’t match the content (it’s almost always Minecraft). Reading someone else’s tumblr posts out loud. Reciting animal factoids. Feeding comment sections into AI music generators. It’s endless tripe.
They’re not designed to be entertaining, they’re designed to fire as many neurons as possible in an attempt to get you to keep scrolling and fire more neurons etc. In other words, addiction bait.
