the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

Op also used those words so should we down vote them?
"Wait for it" - I'm like... bitch, why don't you just add some fast forwarding to the vid, or just cut out the unimportant parts?
At least on youtube you can skip ahead. But whenever i see these caption or those very obnoxiously descriptive short, i'll hit downvote and content like these won't shows up as much.
Because the tube is all about watchtime and engagement. Engagement includes any interaction with the video, such as comments and downvotes.
The wild part is, at least on tiktok, downvoting or selecting "not interested" seems to give me MORE of that content. It's as if leaving the video on your screen for longer is giving that video more points in the algo than your expressed disinterest. What works better (on tiktok) is to scroll away with the minimum amount of time spent looking at the video.
Makes me appreciate when there's a big message in the first second that says "wait until the end!" I swipe so fast when I see that. Otherwise I might have to wait to hear what they're doing in this video, which would boost them in the algorithm.
It's as if their incentives (increased view time) drive behavior
The short video version of “you gotta watch this show I love. Just suffer through the first 12 seasons and it gets SO GOOD!”
"Read that again"
Fuck you, I wish I could unread it from the first time.
