Good article, short form video really is a poison. Instagram has been getting worse for a long time but reels were something I have always tried to avoided entirely, something which just gets harder. I gave up recently and just deleted Instagram. I’m sad because I deffo get FOMO from missing out on friends post/story updates but that diminishing all the time as more people give up posting.
