Have you seen the Distributist's latest YouTube stream? If not, I'd recommend watching it. He touches on precisely this subject around halfway through (although I recommend watching all of it at 1.5x). It's a fascinating and pertinent topic and one that deserves more attention. I hope more people see this article.
I agree with this completely. The cultural changes resulting from the increasing predominance of short form video will be seen by future historians as a major cause of the downfall of our civilization. We must fight for long form culture on Substack as hard as possible! Resist digital involution!
I've been wanting someone who knows more about tech history than me to do a big deep dive on the atrocious enshittification of Google for a long time now

X has always been crap at expressing anything thoughtful, due to its size limitations.
Substack is much better for long test posts. Whether that will change i don't know.
“Webshite” good one 😁
