It's entertaining but it's a massive waste of time that puts my brain into a state I don't like.
I'll happily waste hours on videogames, watching long form content, tinkering with my laptop etc because I at least feel like I've come away with something at the end of that whereas shorts the moment I stop I feel like I've just completely wasted 15 minutes of my life
I think there's an extension which rewrites all the clickbaitey video titles to make them descriptive instead if that's of any interest
