Some people say they are addictive, but to me shorts are an absolute nightmare, I despise them, I hate them, I'm allergic to them.
The ultra quick cutting, the often chopped style, the accelerated voice talking at you without pause or mercy even at 1.0, the subtitles in the center that I cannot disable. It's an attack on my senses, pure overstimulation.
My wife sends me couple of shorts each day and sometimes it's even interesting content-wise, but I absolutely hate this horrible format, procrastinate watching them and wish back a world where this form of media did not exist. It all started even before shorts in the way people did videos, and somehow it spiraled into this kind of hell scape.
Anyone else feeling like this?
EDIT: thanks everyone, now I feel validated, thought maybe I'm the odd one with so strong negative feelings about them! And sorry about the confusion about pants and stocks (that provoked some funny answers though so no regrets). Yes - as you have all figured out, I'm talking about the annoying short videos almost everyone seems to be addicted to.
I thought you were talking about short pants for a second before I read the body.
And yes, I do hate wearing shorts, because I have ugly knees.
Same. Ugly knees. It's a shame because I have amazingly muscular calves I could show off. Don't even work out. They are literally almost as thick as my thighs.
I also came here to say I don’t wear shorts.
Only for sports. And reluctantly.
Haha shorts, as in short pants, I actually like in summer :D Did not want to insult a perfectly fine piece of clothing. But it's also totally cool not to like them ;)
I don't know how these below 2 minute videos are called in general, like the Reels, TikToks, Shorts, it's all the same thing to me (or I don't know the difference)...
Are they comfy and easy to wear?
I thought it's about pants too xD. Damn shorts with their quick cutting and cropped style!
