i absolutely LOVE that screen at the end it’s so beautiful !
Commenting for the algorithm 🤝
I’m a long form content enjoyer for sure like I have to stop myself from getting sucked into tiktoks bc my brain for sure latches onto those 15 second funny clips but absolutely nothing beats working on an assignment late at night while listening to a 4 hour video essay on video game lore
Eyo? I love your animatics and Speedpaints 😮

Yeah same. I get stuck on youtube shorts and there's a lot of fun content on there but there's also lazy content like a text to speech reading of a reddit story that cuts away half through with either subway surfers or minecraft parkour or a stolen baking video in the background. It's lazy but my tine little meatball brain just keeps on watching. But on the otherhand I like watching video essays that have to be at least one hour long or more as I draw.
it's when i can put on a 6+ hour iceberg explained wendigoon while i cook that i feel most at peace
If you love long form content, you should watch pyrocynicals video on utopia
hey buddy i think you made this one too long by accident. Gonna need it in parts on tik tok
Oh no! I’m running out of time. Go to part 2 for results!
Im crying this is so funny
😂😂😂😂😂
21 min video ❎
42 30 second clips ✅
The minute of silence of watching subway surfers at the beginning just made my day
Holy shit that was a minute?
I'm ashamed of how hooked I was😭
I love the fact that state representatives conveniently forgot how technology works during the hearing. I feel like at that point, I (a high schooler) could have asked better questions like wtf 😭
for real, and its so frustrating because they clearly dont actually care about people's information being taken, because if they did, they would have banned the selling of peoples info. Because huge companies profit off of taking data from what youve looked up and been interested in and selling it to others. its so clear that they only care about the fact it was based in china.
Conveniently forgot or genuinely incompetent?
Unless they specifically worked in the tech sector, most Boomers and older Gen X genuinely have no idea technology works. It's not an act. They are just grossly ignorant to this massive part of our society.

as a fellow stutterer, something about someone who also stutters and who doesn't make content that revolves only around their stutter is so comforting! i love those youtubers who do make their channel revolve around stuttering, so no tea no shade lol
I sometimes forget that Saji is also 20, so it's always a refreshing reminder to hear the opinions of someone going through similar experiences in the same era I am. Being 20 is a weird middle ground and it's nice to feel a shared experience.
I’m always surprised when I find out someone is younger than or the same age as me (21) because I have such a baby face I sometimes forget most people my age look like actual adults lmao
@@coopercrockett1636 same I thought this man was like 24 and here we are 21 the whole time lmao
@@njungegathungu4648 yes I’m 21 and thought he was a couple of years older than me lol. I guess I’m just so used to listening to 23-35 yr. old commentators that I forget that younger people do it, too.
I don't know if it's my autism or being in my mid-30s but the rise of short form content is actually driving me away from social media. I open my apps and get very quickly overwhelmed by the experience, it feels like I'm being bombarded with stimuli without taking away anything from it so I just shut it down. I actually started reading a lot more lately because online world is just so saturated with content, I need much more quiet time.
I feel this too. I think my autism plays into it as well, but I'm also very motion sensitive so not only am I overstimulated I actually end up feeling kinda sick. I'm not entirely sure what it is about short form media, the jump cuts or the sped up videos but it makes it difficult for me to look at screens in any sense. It feels like my brain has this connection, screen = motion+overstimulation = discomfort and uneasiness. I don't know your exact experience but I connect with how you described it. I need more quiet time than not these days.
I'm also autistic and agree with your sentiment, for me it's not just that I'm overstimulated but also that a website I've used for one function specifically is suddenly changing into a site I want nothing to do with, like if I wanted shorts I would've just downloaded TikTok lmao
Sending this to my lil cousin but I know he won't make it pass the subway surfer intro
Hi Foreign!
Youre content is inspiring bro.
mop creye la mein☠️

so yesterday i actually had a whole mental breakdown because i hadn’t been doing much on my phone outside of adding to a couple pinterest boards and listening to music.
i consumed virtually no short term content, and it was so weird. i had not had enough mental stimulation. it was just me and my philosophical brain soup.
I feel the same way I get anxious when I’m not consuming some sort of content and I k ow how bad it is but it’s like an addiction at this point and it’s so hard to try to let go. I’ve at least got rid of TikTok and only use the RUclips website instead of app which makes it easier to avoid shorts but I still almost always have a RUclips video going it’s so frustrating being aware of the problem while still not being able to overcome it 😭
Ok but that Pinterest+Spotify combo always slaps🔥🔥🔥
This is interesting because ive deleted all my social media apps (not RUclips obviously) and having a lack of short term content has made me feel so much better. my constant boredness has motivated me to pick up more hobbies and do things that are mentally stimulating as well as productive
ive tried using tiktok, but i hate the feeling of not being in control of what im watching. also i just enjoy long-form content more, theres more nuance and it just feels more engaging for me.
anyway im loving the new transitions, the colors and everything are really pretty :)
Same here. I physically cannot use tiktok because it bothers me that I can’t make a choice on what I watch
And the content just makes me angry
i hadn’t been able to quite put my finger on it, but i think that must be what’s holding me back. i don’t want to be forcefed content, even if it’s “designed” for me. i think in video format it just gets incredibly overwhelming and i want that option to watch a 2 hour video essay that i actually care about haha
@@lukasfuller3966 SAMEEE. Everytime I re-download tiktok the algorithm is so blatantly obvious that's it's trying hook you in, that it genuinely annoys me. That and the whole format is just too much at this point. I don't know how anyone can stay in there for more than four hours without their brain turning to mush.
@@Bodega_princess imagining watching for 4 consecutive hours really puts it into perspective...
Saying the "not being in control of what you're watching" genuinely just changed my outlook on it, thank you for helping me get away from that app
i appreciate you bringing attention to things like this, as well as just making content you want to make; it’s just irritating that they are pushing this endless-scroll-loophole for a lot of stuff on the internet now
i deleted tiktok a few months ago. i genuinely did enjoy the artsy, creative content on the platform, but I remember when they introduced the 3 minute videos and I couldn't sit through the whole thing. and the part 2s and 3s and 4s oh my god there are so many parts to one simple story that often ended up being literally nothing.
It's funny how they don't have any valid questions during the hearing, but then come up with a bill that crosses all of those boundaries they swear they want to protect. I hate this damn country.
I totally agree, tiktok is so horrible for me. I would spend at least 8 hours a day scrolling on it because its so endless and horrible. I realized how horrible it was for me and literally had to put a parental control app on my phone that stops me after 2 hours, but every time it would close the app, since i knew the password, id just give myself more time. So now, i literally had to make my friend create a password that i wouldn't know. THAT'S how bad the app is, and also because i have no self control. I absolutely hate how its so endless, im so close to just deleting the app because the amount of sleepless nights ive had because of it is so destructive.
29 hours of tiktok this week. And im an alcoholic. Surprised how i still havent entierly lost my attentionspan, truly. But i am going insane
Misscalculation. Well anyway who cares i am on my phone 12 hours usually. Pretty fucked
I deleted TikTok a few months back, first few weeks honestly were crazy but once you get used to it it’s totally worth it. Good luck nonetheless :)
@@taty4824 my problem is ill get addicted really easily so i am a perfect test subject. Ill just find something, anything, else. Kind of a doomed case of knowledge and hunger for more. But thanks nonetheless, you guys keep working at it. Ill just.. have a cigarette break or something.
@@snowshower4415 i dont use instagram. And when i start drawing, a thing that i do love doing, i do it for hours wo eating or sleeping. But alright, good luck my guy, love being stereotyped for no reason
Short form content overstimulates me so much it actually gives me stress when my sister is scrolling TikTok in the same room as me. Even just the quick audio changes is too much. It’s just so easy to fall into a hole of ‘just one more’…
content slays, background slays, transitions slay, hair slays, saji slays
I won’t abandon your video, Saji. I hate short form content, I’m a long form content enjoyer forever, I’ll never give up
XG in the thumbnail made my heart jump. What a crossover
same 😭
was looking for a comment abt that
same !!
I'm happy you're going over this because I absolutely hate content that has game play over it or next to it as well. It's really overwhelming and distracting, so having it constantly pushed is not only irritating but (I think) detrimental for developing minds.
Currently dying after getting wisdom toofs removed, thanks Saji
bro me too, got em out today
I swear every video you make is more and more gripping. you're going to become one of the greatest commentary youtubers, just mark my words.
completely agreed!
I originally thought that only children would watch these shorts with the subway surfer visuals as well as secondary visuals and audio, and it shocked me to find out that all three of my sisters (34, 21, 17) would watch these kinds of shorts 😳
as someone who spent a good chunk of time on tiktok late highschool, it has taken me almost 2 years of not opening the app unless someone directly sends me a video to build back my attention span. and even then i still find myself scrolling comments or playing games on my phone to keep myself entertained *during* my entertainment. but it was so much worse back in the day, i could barely focus on my assignments. i've been so much happier without it, and my grades shot up after i forced myself away from it. i couldn't imagine what my attention span would be if i grew up with it-- i got away with only being sucked into it for a year or two, and it's still done some good damage.
never expecting to see XG in one of sajis thumbnails !
I stay as far away short form content hence why I don’t have Tik Tok. I get way too absorbed in it and stay on too long. It wastes my time and I have way too many things to do to end up scrolling on my phone for hours on end. I can only imagine how this is effecting children/teens and their attention spans. I also just miss instagram focusing on photography and art, now it’s mostly reels. It’s sad to see.
as someone with adhd and autism short form content is like a nightmare to me part of my brain loves it so much but it makes me waste away on my phone. I have to force myself to stop looking at… instagram reels…i know it’s bad i don’t have tik tok but i literally have to force myself to stop looking for so long at those videos because a lot of them have no substance. My attention span is already bad but i love long form content (autism part of ma brain) and so it’s really rough (i know it’s a first work problem) i mean i literally have started looking through the comments cause i need stimulation LIKE WHY ARGHHH
No because it really is. Like adhd craves something new which tiktok gives new videos and autism craves routines which is scrolling through the app.
I saw xg in the thumbnail had to wacth
XG in the thumbnail! stan XG to get your attention span back
Bro, that outro was executed really well! I mean the whole video was excellent don't get me wrong, but that ending was so effective at driving your point home. Thank you for sharing with us!
excellent video as always Saji! We as a *joker voice* society need to find a balance with content consumption. our lives are filled with constant near-overstimulation and it can be addicting and lead to apathy. As a person on the autism spectrum, I don't exactly have an objective view, but I've noticed a shift in not only myself but the people around me in the way we commodify mental health. I worry for the direction we're headed in, but there is always time to change it
also i have to spotify dj and it sucks (it thought i wanted to listen to 4 lin manuel miranda songs in a row :/)
yeahh, mental illness and disabilities are still super stigmatized, but its like some ppl can make a brand off of it?? capitalism ruins everything istg
I watched this immediately after my therapy session. All my problems . . . Gone.
xg in the thumbnail 😭😭
Does he mention them in the video
justice for the pen behind saji’s ear bro looked mad studious
I love your videos so much tbh
it seems very calm and personal in a good way
Your chanel has always been a hidden gem, i hope it sees the growth it deserves from this quality content
I like the subway surfers thing since I have adhd and a short attention span but I can see how it negatively impacts the majority 😭😭
currently working on an essay for school with the exact same topic and im so glad to have come across this video. loved how you touched on how this also affects creators and puts them in a box since most people tend to talk abt how this specifically affects the viewers. a banger video overall and i rlly hope more people start to talk abt this in the youtube commentary space 🙏🙏
this video goes CRAZYYY you put so many thoughts I've had into words so well, i'm gonna make all my students (college freshmen) watch this lmao
omg dm me a video if you do that would be so cool
I love your videos and your personality (or at least the one you show us) so much and I really love that you have stopped editing out some of the stuttering. It feels more personal
i have crippling ADHD and yet i still prefer long form content.
i hate spotify especially because i turned off the short videos behind each song because they were often flashy and annoying but there isn’t a switch to turn off the new homepage i checked :C
I saw XG on the thumbnail so I clicked, brain simple
did i only watched this video because xg was in the thumbnail? yes
thank you! i'm really bad at wording stuff, so ive never really been able to explain why all the short form content stuff makes me so uncomfortable and upset, so this helps a lot. greta video as always, and have a wonderful day!
I got youtube to stop recommending me shorts so here's a tutorial if you want to try
There's 2 "ribbons" of content in your feed that show like a bunch of shorts next to each other, whenever you see those click the the dots in the top right corner of the videos thumbnail, and click not interested
Repeat this step for every video/short in the ribbon, there should be about 15
And then repeat it for the next ribbon you see
Then refresh and it's done :)
The quality is insane since the last time ive seen ur content!! The intro hello!? Love!!
thank you for continuing to make long form content, your videos are always so entertaining and the way you edit and talk is perfect, i look forward to every video you post 🙏🙏🙏 also i love your room so much it looks so sick it's a perfect background for a video
i feel like crying anytime someone puts on subway surfers to “keep my attention” 😭
This video is really well made. You are like super underrated.
I love just listening to you talk, your voice scratches my brain so much and the pace you talk is so satisfying to me
Can't get over the fact that XG's Shooting Star is in the thumbnail
Okay but why do the subway surfers -tiktoks always have the most absurd and weird stories :D
love to see xg in the thumbnailll 💗
i think one of the reasons why a lot of popular creators love posting on youtube shorts is because you get views and retention way quicker. just like tik tok, it's quick and consumable, people can like and comment quickly and there isn't much needed to make a short video. you don't need to make anything interesting or give it a special thumbnail, it's just quick and easy yet you're more likely to get half the views you would on a regular video. your content can be pushed way more in yt shorts as it's randomised for the consumer. I myself have posted on RUclips shorts multiple times, and for the majority my short videos gathered lots of views way quicker than my regular videos have. it's not a coincidence
9:10 I can't remember which like, con it was. But I remember a story of a tiktoker doing a meet-and-greet at a convention. The youtubers had incredibly long lines, but the tiktoker had no line. And this person had the same amount as subscribers as these other youtubers, but those follows didn't translate in the way youtuber subscribers do.
all of the videos of them in court with the ceo of tiktok were the congress people thinking they “got him” but they just sounded stupid ☠️
i really liked your background this video
Ngl the xg on the thumbnail got me to click but it was mostly cause of saji
It's telling to me that I can just yell over to my fiancee at any point she's on tick tock to "stop doom scrolling" and she will. There's gotta be some point where it isn't doom scrolling right?
great video. really appreciate hearing a nuanced take about tiktok without devolving into sinophobia lol. great video as usual. love your hair btw my dude
background, editing, and transitions all go so hard in this one. and the content as always.
The way that this tiktok ban is going to lead to violations of the literal constitution what happened to the right to privacy 💀
Love the new setup it looks great!!! I mean I know it's bc you moved rooms but you decorated really nicely and the lighting is really good!
Subway Surfers videos make me anxious and I can't think about the coupled content unless I physically cover the subsurf part 🙃🙃
I try to use RUclips for mostly educational viewing, and that's part of why I like your videos. Thank you
Saji, fantastic video as always! I always look forward to new ones. You’ve got a new fan for life 🙏🙏
I’m sorry but Saji is stupid handsome ugh. How can he have any hair style, any facial hair style, and always look good?!
Yesss a saji video! You are speaking exactly what's on my mind!! Now excuse me while I watch family guy clips with someone mixing slime on the bottom half of the video (my attention span is irreparably ruined)
jokes on you i watched the video while playing the subway surfer themed candy crush knock off that i started playing bc it was advertised to me while i was playing subway surfer while watching 10 hours of unattended orgo lectures at x2 speed
loving the new intro!
Your videos keep getting more and more fantastic I love watching you grow as a creator 😊
I’ve been talkin a lot about this lately, perfectly timed & executed video
I really like this video. Chef's kiss.
I love watching like 2-3 hour long videos and such long form content is much more entertaining for me
the new setup hits different saji i cannot lie
You really are a great youtuber, thanks for making this video:)
Production quality??? OKAYYYY
Another banger. Loved the bit at the end
Intro/outro and background look amazing :)
everything I do I do it A1 flawless ✨
Hinata in the thumbnail
your intro theme is amazing
I love your videos, theyre so informative and funny.
Spotify has made navigating through different genres very tedious. I don't want to pay for it anymore.
0:09 thank you for talking about this ❤
16:40 no way did they pull the "you're getting paid with exposure" nonsense
omg i haven't seen the intro yet
its so fun
xg in the thumbnail 😭
10/10 ad segway, i was so immersed
I feel like for myself I’m finding watching more longer content. The short content gives me whiplash after an hour of watching all of the different content. My brain tends to hurt after watching short form content.
I hate the new Spotify… it looks like trash. If I wanted to watch the videos I would go to yt. I want to see the artist name and songs which now are extra tiny and I haven’t found any new playlists since.
I’ll delete and redownload tiktok a lot and there’s always a correlation in my mood like every time I delete it I get happier and it’s just something I realized recently
That's because most tiktok content is negative
Let me explain, scrollinh through tiktok gives a person no control and actually makes us numb now compile that with people who are aware of this and frustated for procrastinating take it out on creators by sending hate messages. There's a reason why recently tiktok has so many negative messages or comments under a somewhat normal post. This leads to negative thinking which in turn makes us unhappy.
that thumbnail is so funny. xg girls what r u doin
FRLS LMAOAOAOOA
Thank you for this!!! :]
i am truly terrified of what humanity might become before i die
this video is so good i really really hope it reaches a lot of people :)
Hillbilly saji is a vibe😂😂😂
Also thank you for the critique on short-form content
I have the spotify DJ beta, its actually kinda cool but I know that its not gonna be what I want it to be :(
Love those types of videos!
