Short-Form Content and the Illusion of Control

AskHyderabad ⬆️

Lately, I feel like people are getting seriously addicted to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Now even LinkedIn has started pushing short-form content in the same way.

Do you think you’re caught in this loop?

If you feel like you’re not, maybe check your screen time and see how much of it goes into scrolling. It can be surprising.

I’ve been trying hard to cut down. I’ve deleted most of these apps and I’m even considering deleting Reddit.

What’s your honest opinion on short-form content addiction? Have you managed to control it, or are you still stuck in the cycle?
