I do have computer glasses. It was more like - every time I was about to close that tab (being perfectly aware that I have been watching shorts for X min) - the next one would grab my attention again by giving me either something very compassionate or sad or outrageous. Then more random reels with a mix of random content and just as you're about to close the tab - another amazing reel of someone doing something absolutely amazing.
I think I have never spent so much time on YT in all the years.
