MODERATORS
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.
Step 1: block archiebot
Step 2: enjoy about 75% reduced spam

- 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.
because there's only a few thousand users here.
that's why it isn't commonplace; there's no money in it. slop companies make more money on tiktok, facebook and other popular platforms...
...but Lemmy is not free from abuse of this type. If the fediverse was more popular it would start to see more slop content.
that's my point. it does work here, because the same vulnerabilities exist, but isn't common because it's not as profitable as shitting in tiktok or facebook. :)

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

Yeah... unliked and blocked, moving on.
Like the face people make for the thumbnails
This face almost made me downvote you.
Does blocking count as engagement? It would absolutely not surprise me if it does.
Engage once, to never engage again with that particular clickbait tripe channel.
This applies to shorts that start with "this is crazy" and "this is insane".

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.
End comes after 10 minutes of video with nothing happening. And when something does happen, it's half out of frame and completely underwhelming.

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.
Doubly so when they do a fake laugh any time something is mildly amusing

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

Post like a bot get blocked like a bot
It's like having to wait through an ad on Duolingo except without the reward.
Saw one yesterday here on Lemmy, where the action happened half way through, and nothing happened at the end, which I skipped to.
I immediately skip when I hear/see::
- "Wait for it"
- Overused trending meme music
- Overused trending AI voice
- Useless people pointing
- Useless people in the corner
- Split screen of irrelevant mobile game
- Tells me not to skip
- 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.
I've been blissfully unaware of this trend, because I'm not on any other social media! I get that posting this is a bit of smug self-satisfaction, which nobody likes, but I feel strongly that corporate social media is a scourge, and that far too many people farm out their critical thinking to random "content creators." Black-box content algorithms are not doing you any favors, and they will affect your thinking if you subject yourself to them.

'Let me explain' is one for me as well.
Ok, downvoted.
