Everyone complains about shorts or reels format. But reading comments is the short format of reading.
And I can attest the the feeling is the same, quick dopamine release and after a session we can’t barely remember most of what was read, just like short video format.
Oh no please don’t say that! I thought I was doing well for myself by reading through the articles and reading comments on Lemmy! I know it’s not as good as reading a book, but it’s progress damnit!
I say all that in jest of course lol I probably should get back to reading all those books I downloaded and added to my Calibre server now.
They are not the same thing as far as bad for the brain. Short videos are worse. But in their categories (reading and videos) they are similar ranking.
