I immediately skip when I hear/see::

  1. "Wait for it"
  2. Overused trending meme music
  3. Overused trending AI voice
  4. Useless people pointing
  5. Useless people in the corner
  6. Split screen of irrelevant mobile game
  7. Tells me not to skip
  8. Anything Stranger Things. I haven't caught up yet.

So you're still ensnared by the useless red circle? Thank you, I'll update my AI content slop machine

Short form video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

When a "Shorts" starts with Watch Till the end for "X" & spouts a big load of Bull throughout the start, yeah it's Clickbait

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Lol my mind went straight to thinking this was some type of apocalypse trend.

Kinda your own fault for being on Tiktok in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago (7 children)

There’s been a recent flood of it here, though. A new (i think) page titled ‘gifs’ started flooding my All feed and pretty much every post is a “watch till the end” for a 10sec clip…🙄

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Most of those are reposted by the same account. You just need to ban a few accounts and the feed is clean again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Oh yeah, im no stranger to blocking users and entire communities on this platform….there’s just usually the initial wave of whatever the new spam is until i can get my feed cleaned up again.

TLDR(after clicking through 21 slides that each load a new website): She had a benign mole on her shoulder.

Reminds me of a teacher that kept telling us about the intended syllabus every day. But complaining that he had to remove stuff because there was not enough time for everything, while wasting half an hour everyday instead of going for what was possible.

[–] Rooty 1 points 6 days ago

And the constant lamenting on how we're behind the syllabus and how we need to move on, like it's a race and not an educational process.

This applies to shorts that start with "this is crazy" and "this is insane".

i always interpret “watch to the end” as being a euphemism for “i did not edit this video properly” or “ipad babies are the intended audience of this video”. in any case, i will not be watching that video.

I hate the slugs who overlay themselves front-and-center over another video to repeatedly point at whatever they want you to observe while steadily breathing through their mouth.

It's even worse when they first point to their ear and then their eye to say, "LISHEN 'n LOOKSH, bruh.."

We are truly in a Renaissance of fucking idiocy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doubly so when they do a fake laugh any time something is mildly amusing

I can count on one hand the number of videos I've seen where "wait until the end" holds true.

The most recent in years is a video of a dog chewing on something. The owner approaches it and the dog lets go of a hose which then sprays the owner.

Was not expecting that.

It says something of the Tik-tok generations attention span if you need to put a "wait till the end" reminder for a 10 second video.

Btw if I see this anywhere its an instant downvote/skip.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It says the same thing "Don't touch that dial!" said about your generation. Which is nothing: the advertiser is admitting what follows is uninteresting.

It's like having to wait through an ad on Duolingo except without the reward.

[–] danekrae 14 points 1 week ago

Saw one yesterday here on Lemmy, where the action happened half way through, and nothing happened at the end, which I skipped to.
