@DaMoshe,

Umm Litfaks mesora is the same as chasdim. It stems from the GRA . Its about the same time as the Besht
Re the feel good aspect , one can argue that litfaks have also a feel good intellectual argument where its all about torah

Now the real mesora is Yekkis and ashkenzai jews. Not litfaks. That means doing things like the Rema. And yes saying yotzer on YT etc.

Now we need to fast forward to todays society where you have a point. Chasdim aren’t suppose to be just a feel good thing. Its supposed to be about really observing extra Keddusha (extra tznuis) davening for long even in the weekdays in a hurry etc. Meanwhile litfaks historically, Litfaks only cared about torah and halchaha but not tefila or kedusha.

Fast foward to today, unfortunately chasdim are being abused as about feeling good and partying at R Shayla while fressing meat. It became about olem hazah . Tznuis has gone down too. And we have formally non chasdim part of newly made fake chasdish movements that think thats what’s important about life. meanwhile Litfaks are now the leaders on kedusha, davening long and being ehlrich. So technically in 2024 you are correct alot of being chasdish is fake
