A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I think you have a good point. However, a lot of the people I personally know who use short form video platforms will sit and scroll on them for hours at a time. I also notice that most of them are not able to sit through a tv show or movie without going and checking the same short form platforms. I think you may be right that part of it is not wanting to watch longer videos vertically, but to me it also seems like there is more to it than that.
You're probably not wrong. I don't think I was ever as "into" tiktok as some people are seeing as I didn't even really notice dropping it that much.
Yeah that makes sense. I'm sure there's parts I'm missing as well due to my only evidence being anecdotal
