Modern media is too overstimulating

I was watching a video essay on the new film "Forgotten Island", and immediately I found the animation, the editing and cinematography of said film was just nothing but pure garish noise thrown into the face of the viewer, as if the makers of the film were so desperate to keep audience's attentions that felt they had to practically scream directly in their faces every five seconds, with constant jumpcuts and shouting. Then my mother showed me a reel for a recipe for stir fry chicken. Again, the editing style was constantly jumpcutting between each step before my brain even had time to process the instructions. it made my head physically hurt.

I feel like it's all to do with people being addicted to their phones these days that everything is edited in this... extremely distracting way, but I can't help but feel it's harmful. It certainly overstimulated me to the point where I needed to have a little bit of quiet time

  • I find YouTube and sometimes even Netflix etc to be overwhelming but over the air tv is fine problem is BBC want to scrap Freeview and whilst people say they shouldn't they only consider it essential for the poor or elderly people but with my audhd needs I need proper tv even though I also use online stuff

    I find using a smart tv ect to watch normal tv is a faff

  • I saw that my humax box said it wouldn't work for BBC Iplayer after the end of the month, is this related to freeview being scrapped?

    Will I have to get one of those ROKU tellies instead? A friend had one and it's a pain in the bum!

  • No that's likely they no longer support the software but you can still watch tv just need a box for iplay but a box or. Stick iw much better than a smart tv I mean who wants to wait for a menu to load just yo play a games console watch a DVD or watch BBC 1

    They wanna scrap it by 2030 hopefully they find a way to keep it along side iptv otherwise the kind of tvs I can cope with (crts plasma and old led) will be useless without a Roku although crts are useless anyway if you want to watch BBC channels as BBC scrapped non hd frequencies and crts don't take hd boxes
