It’s like having to wait through an ad on Duolingo except without the reward.

I don’t know… Wait till the end of this one
Short form video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
also “game changer”
till
If they could spell the word properly, that’d be great.
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.
Lol my mind went straight to thinking this was some type of apocalypse trend.
They do this because it works on many people.
“I took a picture of myself making a crazy face and pointing at an object! Will this be the engagement trap I hope it is?!”
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
Watch this list, number 6 will surprise you!!!
Doctors finds that the new food that is causing cancer to everyone who eats is… (Article title cuts here, answer is nowhere to be found in the article title, introduction or conclusion).
When a “Shorts” starts with Watch Till the end for “X” & spouts a big load of Bull throughout the start, yeah it’s Clickbait
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.
Kinda your own fault for being on Tiktok in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
it’s so easy to create these types of accounts and flood them with low-effort AI slop that blocking one or two accounts never did it for me. regardless of the platform (tiktok, facebook, instagram, any other social media, including some of your revered FOSS platforms) it’s easy to bypass humanity filters with very little effort and fill the account with garbage. all of these platforms behave the same way: if outside accounts engage with it, it becomes more valuable. that’s why there are so many of these, and why “just banning” a few of them won’t solve it
Oh yeah, im no stranger to blocking users and entire communities on this platform….there’s just usually the initial wave of whatever the new spam is until i can get my feed cleaned up again.
Step 1: block archiebot
Step 2: enjoy about 75% reduced spam
Usually tiktok is the most responsive feed out of all the platforms if you scroll away from some specific content asap. It will not try to push it again and again.
- 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. :)
No, the same vulnerability does not exist here.
There are different vulnerabilities here, but this one isn’t there.
Your position is that Lemmy is immune to the following: company creates an account on Lemmy, spams communities with low effort content (possibly created by AI or automated processes), attracts viewers, then sells the account to another company as part of an advertising campaign. This position can be defeated if the above happens even one time. I’m refusing to debate you on this not because you’re infallibly correct, but because it’s not worth the investment of time. Any idiot can see it’s an indefensible position. Have a day. 🫱
People are sharing content from there to other places too.
I saw that shit on LinkedIn.
