@futurebird i think short form content works well for some subjects but not others. politics IMO becomes propaganda when everything is forced down to simplistic hot takes, memes, and bumper sticker slogans. (the key word being 'forced,' as happens with restrictive character limits.) a sprinkling of those things is not harmful, but when that's all the discourse on a platform is? intelligent conversation dies.
for other subjects like e.g. watching a dog get a bath, short form is really just fine.
