there's like a revolt on Shorts that is either here or coming. My theory is that it's actually here right now because I think Gen Z, they're very media literate compared to, let's say, boomers or even millennials because they grew up with the internet and they grew up with basically like Web 1 to Web 2. Right. But they're also savvy now and they're the primary consumers of this media. Right. And so they're seeing through it. Yeah. And Gen Z is seeing through it. And I think everyone on earth is probably fatiguing a bit from the short form. And they're also seeing all the patterns of how they get hooked. Yeah, right. So they're getting a little bit meta about it.
