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.
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.
This applies to shorts that start with “this is crazy” and “this is insane”.
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.
Post like a bot get blocked like a bot
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
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.
Short form video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Ok, downvoted.
It’s because the “algorithm” looks at the average watch time and promotes content that people tend to watch to the end, so they incentivize creating content that has some punchline at the end, or that is just so confusing that you spend the whole time trying to figure out what is going on so you’re less likely to swipe away. If your mind can easily make a judgement about what you’re watching, you’re more likely to decide it’s something you don’t want to watch, and then swipe before the end. This counts against content in the algorithm.
When a “Shorts” starts with Watch Till the end for “X” & spouts a big load of Bull throughout the start, yeah it’s Clickbait
also “game changer”
Surely you aren’t talking about Game Changer, the best game show, the reason Dropout is worth paying for
They do this because it works on many people.
True, but that third panel kinda looks like one of those videos where they make their kitty pop and lock and those are kind of adorable.
