      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…🙄

    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.

      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.
