I think if you’re just looking for quick news breaks then it can be useful…

No, even then, that format is even worse. Good journalism often has a nuance and detail to it. The short-format video nonsense barely has enough time to get through a headline and a broad summary.

The 24h news cycle is bad enough without trying to shorten it further to 90sec ragebait clips.

I addressed that actually. I said if you wanted more detail then youtube or peertube might be better.

But if you just want a quick glance, then that’s why I said then maybe the short form content might be preferred.
