IMO the best thing about loops, piefed or whatever is that there’s so little on here that you can open your app of choice for about 30 minutes to an hour and then be done for the week.
I would argue, based on my perception of people who use and abuse those platforms, as well as data to suggest and confirm the above descriptors, that yes it is so wrong lol
I mean, you’re free to eat mcdonalds all you want, but let’s not pretend it’s a healthy choice in any way you measure it

Is it so wrong to just take a little hit of heroin from time to time?
Short form content is actively making people dumber, causing speech impediments in kids by cause their parents and themselves are addicted to the dopamine hit of scrolling.

Are you going to ban alcohol as well because that’s a neurotoxin?
Maybe you put down the pop science magazine for five seconds and understand that a single study, or even five studies, does not a consensus make. You sound like moms against video games or whatever the hell like it was called it back in the 2000s.
Also, great job completely ignoring the point about non-incorporated vectors for engaging with short form videos don’t have enough content for you to continuously scroll.

Not sure about OP, but I think that yes, end goal should be banning alcohol consumption completely.

Yeah, the fact that it’s so normalized in society makes me sick.
