Does anyone else find this app sort of overwhelming? Not necessarily in a bad way either.

I remember when my boss showed me a flurry of vines from her trip to Washington DC, I found myself feeling a bit disoriented as I tried to catch up with the rapidly switching contexts of each video.

The same things happens to me when I'm scrolling through a feed. It's strange to me that it doesn't happen with pictures, but I can only describe it as being teleported through the globe in rapid-fire mode.

Am I just an old fogey at the ripe old age of 31?

No I feel the same way at age 21. It's quite hard to follow the quick-cutting nature of most videos. The ones I tend to like the most are comedy videos that have really quick setups and punchlines.
