One of my family members rarely lets her daughter watch TV, and when that kid is in front of a set, she's so catatonic she can't remember her name. I can't imagine if she was an iPad kid with TikTok in front of her, kids especially eat up these splitscreen videos. Educated, working, adult HN readers aren't the target audience for these sorts of things, but even I got caught in the TikTok trap for a year and still watch hours of YT and FB shorts in a stupor. I'm glad HN hasn't introduced short-form video content yet ;)
