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

Shits sad

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

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.

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).

It’s the easiest way to get rid of me in an internet argument. It forces me to accept I will not spend more time on this crackpot.

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.

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

except that’s for something like an upcoming 15 minute ad break while the caption is for a 15 second video that’s already started

Whether it’s 15 seconds, minutes or hours doesn’t matter, because they care about the decision that we make immediately.

You’ve got a financial incentive to have someone watch 30 seconds of video - so ofc you use all the skeeziest shit straight out of the chum bucket days of the early internet.

It’s not about attention span: it’s about manipulation and money.

Not only that but this meme is not about TikTok - they don’t have votes, especially not a downvote. This is almost certainly about Reddit: the only major social media site that has downvoting.
