What's your opinion on short-form video content? How do you consume it? For fun, or do you actually end up trying some of the recommendations these influencers dish out?
I don't use TikTok or Instagram at all. I ditched Twitter a couple of months ago. I get tech info from sites like this one and tech related subreddits.
There is some useful info you can find on IndieHackers, GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc depending on what you are looking for exactly.
Marketing tools? Hell yes.
I'm primarily on TikTok for meta-reasons when I'm there: I like to watch TikToks about TikTok and see how non-techy humans view the algorithms and platforms. Never got on IG: Static images didn't interest me as a medium for social media and I prefer to go directly to the source platform for something rather than use its competitor's bland copies. I don't like to incentivize lazy 'innovation'.
I watch very little short-form video content, however. There is something fake and contrived about a lot of short-form content that is really off-putting. Maybe I am watching the mainstream creators though and haven’t found the good ones.
