    Jumpcuts are a scourge on our race. Sometimes I physically get sick from my eyes having to jump around to the person that is suppose to be the focus of the video. I just can’t do it.

      I get less than nothing from “LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME THIS IS PARASOCIAL ENGAGEMENT” selfie-reaction emphasis. I can handle TikTok videos better by closing my eyes 99% of the time but that just makes me miss visual gags/gimmicks that justify blasting out 5 second music clips.

        I’ve found that listening to them is way easier to digest. I don’t have TT but my wife does and she’s always finding relevant things to share with me but I usually play them in the background so I avoid having to have my focus bounce all over the screen. Which sucks because there is a lot of decent leftist awakening type material on there but I just can’t do it.
