the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

[danekrae@lemmy.world]

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

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…

'Let me explain' is one for me as well.

By the same logic, one should downvote any link to YT videos (which is what I do anyway).

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.

Hehe yep I got to hear many of those rants too. Its like, uhh great, shall we use a magic science machine to artificially stretch the year out or what.. like what do you want us to do about it

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

They do this because it works on many people.

If you watch the first hour of this slop you'll be numb and enjoy the next 5 hours.

1. create account
2. use AI or automated process to post tons of slop videos
3. stupid people like, comment or share the video
4. account's engagement goes up
5. now transition it into advertising
6. sell it to a company. "Look, this account has 100k followers. How's $10,000 sound?"

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

it's so easy to create these types of accounts and flood them with low-effort AI slop that blocking one or two accounts never did it for me. regardless of the platform (tiktok, facebook, instagram, any other social media, including some of your revered FOSS platforms) it's easy to bypass humanity filters with very little effort and fill the account with garbage. all of these platforms behave the same way: if outside accounts engage with it, it becomes more valuable. that's why there are so many of these, and why "just banning" a few of them won't solve it

I'm a simple man, I see TikTok I dislike.

[cosmicturtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

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

Good thing it doesn't work here.

But it's a known way to make money on the other site.

As it should be

[macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world]

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.
