A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

yt shorts is such an atrocious format to share any sort of information.

Yeah I agree, but that's the place where the expert I know shared their knowledge. If I had a text based source I would have used that.

So is Twitter but that didn't stop Twitter from becoming wildly popular. YouTube shorts are just tweets in a video format.

At least you can quickly read a tweet, considering how short they are it takes like a second. Shorts are worse, you have the same limited information but you have to watch the whole damn thing to get it (even with subtitles).
