Enshittification boosts retardification?! And vice versa.
HBO Max is launching "HBO Max Shorts" - a mobile feature designed for users to watch iconic and memorial scenes from the HBO library in a vertical and scrollable feed.
Have we, as a species, really managed to totally destroy our attention span? Brain rot is a real and present danger.

i hate sounding like a ‘get off my lawn’ guy but seriously? If this takes off it’s going to spread like a virus.

It is sad that it might take off. And when it does, Lord help us. The brain rot will be at unimaginable levels.
HBO is going to test run it, others will follow ensuite.

Maybe it's just how content is changing, but I hope people don't stop enjoying complete shows and movies.

You know, looking at how I consume shows maybe it does make sense a little bit. I usually will have a show on in the background and work and use my phone while it's on. It's kind of rare to really sit down and watch a show with full attention, and it's definitely way more true for everyone I've seen put a show on in my household.
