Even worse is captions saying what happens. Like it’ll be a video of a baby trying to sit on a chair and missing and falling…and the caption will say “bro missed his chair”.
Why does a 7 second video need spoilers?
That’s up there with the overlay of the “creator” pointing at the spoiler text, needlessly obscuring the actual content.
It’s the attention span shrinking as time goes by.
I have a brilliant idea actually; a video sharing site with a maximum video length of one second. “How much can you fit in a second? Find out for only $10/month”
That just made me miss Vine and early Twitter… Attention span be damned, there’s an art to crafting a good joke with a length constraint that I don’t see much on the internet anymore
Bill Gates, Zuccerberg and Elon Musk wants to know your address.
The worst is people verbally explaining what you’re seeing like a fucking documentary. It’s extra bad because they stole the video they’re narrating.
Even better is a split screen video where the bottom half is someone playing Minecraft or some really simple platform game because people don’t have the attention span to learn some dumb fact without also watching some game on half of their screen.
I really hate this version of the internet.

I’ve never seen those in any of my feeds, thankfully. Probably because I tend to watch longer videos and…“original” videos (no overlayed people or other stuff)
Same, but once in a while I start watching a short from one of my subscriptions and then start scrolling. I guess because I watch some gaming content, YouTube thinks I want to watch that drivel.
I watch a lot of gaming content, but it’s mostly video essay or review style stuff. Maybe that’s what keeps my feed clean.
On YouTube, I don’t watch shorts at all though. And I’m vicious about telling it “Not Interested” when there’s something I don’t want in my feed.
It’s not my feed that has crap. Try swiping up on 100 shorts some night when you can’t sleep and see what you see.
Or reaction videos where they cut to a guy rolling their eyes or looking bothered. Thanks for that hilarious cutaway.
I appreciate the warning as it readily admits the majority of the content is boring enough to make you want to scroll away.
I LOVE engagement farming. I LOVE generating all that revenue and data to be mined for my precious share holders who I owe my LIFE to.
If it’s interesting I’ll watch until the end. It’s that simple. If you feel the need to tell me how to get through a 30-second video I’m going to assume it’s not worth my time and that’s the only way you can get me to stick around.
Just as bad are videos that end before the reason you are watching. Like someone cleaning up some mess and they don’t show the finished result.
Like if you watched to the end and you will have seven years of good luck.
Telling me to subscribe is a great way to make me deliberately not subscribe.
Longer engagement times on videos are rewarded with higher priority in the Feed and more advertising revenues.
These videos are responding to the economic incentives created by the social media industry. Nothing you - personally - do will change this because you - personally aren’t the target audience.
till
If they could please just spell the word correctly, that’d be great.
“Till” and “until” are separate words despite having the same meaning. This meaning of “till” is actually the older word.
