MODERATORS
Many reported being alarmed by a stream of graphic videos they encountered while scrolling through the feed, including videos showing gun violence, police brutality, physical altercations and vaccine misinformation.
So it's working as intended?
Steve “spez” Huffman calls the feature “visionary” and jokes that he wishes some protesting Reddit moderators be featured in the videos.
Only use it via browser and wasn't even aware of such feature nor do I care. These short videos are a rabbit hole I don't want to explore because there's no coming back
I've used them several times. Every time I get 3-4 videos deep and get pissed off because it lacks basic functionality, there's zero curation so it's just a stream of shit, the content is shit because they try to cram it into a vertical video, a format that makes zero sense, and I come away from every video thinking "WTF did I just watch?"
Seriously this segment of entertainment truly befuddles me.
yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was
I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away
which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage
I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy

System is working as intended... I guess then huh Elon?
As for the free speech claims. I guess it's code for Elon doesn't want to pay people to moderate the content.
Except where the word "cisgender" is used, then he brings in the last employee that knows how to work the only machine left in the office with a working version of the software for modding content, while him, Ronnie, and other top members of the Reich look over his shoulder.
