I feel the same way, and also about those apps people use to record a short clip or take a photograph every day. But I gather they are relatively popular, so what do I know!

I've been using one of those "short clip everyday" apps for the last 6 years. The only noticeable effect it's had on my life is that I have mundane/everyday/real-life footage of people/pets who have passed away unexpectedly. So when family members are looking for a way to remember them, they tend to ask me if I can dig up any of my "one seconds." It's a bittersweet job, but I'm glad I'm able to provide some comfort that way.
Those short clip apps seem like an Instagram profile which has been converted into a video.
