The thing that was off about the videos as compiled were the weird emotional reaction followed by asking for engagement. It's a kind of grift that just stops me in my tracks. A laugh at something dark.
Good to see the substack filling in the detail.

What is happening to the brain as it tries to process all the information in a sludge video?
Brain activity in response to sludge content hasn’t been studied directly, but experts say such content likely has similar effects on the brain as multitasking.

Guess this means those tv channels (like cp24) with a traffic cam, weather updates, stock ticker, news ticker, newsreel and sports results are proto-sludge...

I thought this was going to be about those videos where a guy picks up a hammer and it digitally sludges into a popsicle.

what is the legal basis for congress banning tiktok? i mean i don't dispute that is foreign-owned and bad for americans, but so is fox news, which i'm pretty sure they could not get away with banning
