Lmao it’s because peoples attention spans are literally like 2 seconds.
Shits sad
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.
By the same logic, one should downvote any link to YT videos (which is what I do anyway).
Kinda your own fault for being on Tiktok in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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…🙄
Most of those are reposted by the same account. You just need to ban a few accounts and the feed is clean again.
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
- create account
- use AI or automated process to post tons of slop videos
- stupid people like, comment or share the video
- account’s engagement goes up
- now transition it into advertising
- sell it to a company. “Look, this account has 100k followers. How’s $10,000 sound?”
Good thing it doesn’t work here.
But it’s a known way to make money on the other site.
I’m a simple man, I see TikTok I dislike.
The man of culture part was.
Generally I think the dislike of Tiktok has to do with purity culture more than anything else. I typically find people who hate on Tiktok to be misinformed, willfully ignorant, massively hypocritical, or a combination thereof
I don’t understand what those tiktoks have to do with the text. None of those tiktoks have clickbait titles or tags or anything. They’re just silly fun videos.
