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.

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

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

Lmao it's because peoples attention spans are literally like 2 seconds.

Shits sad

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Nah, if you have to tell people to wait until the end, it's because there's nothing in that first 55 seconds worth seeing.

There's good short-form content out there, and none of it begs you not to swipe away

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

It's more so that the uploader gets the most watch time and engagement and therefore the biggest paycheck per video.

BTW, down voting is seen as engagement and prioritized just the same as up voting. Doesn't matter which button you're pushing as long as it's on the platform.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Every time I've seen people use this the thing that happens at the end should've been the entire video and/or wasn't even funny/worth watching.

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

[-] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 59 points 1 week ago

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…🙄

[-] kozy138@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago

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

[-] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 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.

[-] kubica@fedia.io 45 points 1 week ago

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@lemmy.world 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 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.

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 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.

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