Yes, and it will still be brainrot.

My attention span is just fine. I don't need to see it ruined by short format nonsense with about as much intellectual value as the nutritional value of a McDonald's cheeseburger.

I never installed TikTok or Snapchat on my phone, not because I had privacy concerns, but because I hate everything about the format.

I was there 3000 years ago when snapchat was brand new... those were some good times. Sending snaps to all your friends and staying in touch etc, before all the filters and stories and news etc it was great
