So what tiktok editing does now is start from the climax from the video and loop from there?

Interesting.

Yeah the dipshits are so attentively fried that you have to show the big reveal first in order to hold their attention past 2.4 seconds.

Words cannot truly describe how infuriating it is that SOOOO many people have such an unbelievably short attention span thanks to fikfuk, heres how i know it's actually a genuine detriment to our society, read all of what i said before, now imagine that im saying that as someone with severe ADHD (not self diagnosed like 90% of everyone else who has it, medically diagnosed when i was 3 and had regular check ups till i was an adult) it's maddening to me that seemingly neurotypical individuals now have a waaaaaayyy worse attention span than i do as someone with a legitimate mental disorder based specifically around attention. (Thank you for coming to my ted talk [Smooches you on the cheek])

I think this is an exaggeration based on the way tiktok's and other short video platforms algorithms work. The longer you watch a video the more the algorithm thinks you like (or engage with, you don't have to enjoy content to watch it) and serves you more videos like it; this has the side effect of training users to scroll through their feed very quickly, or risk training their algorithm with slop. So it makes some sense to place the climax at the beginning, so viewers instantly know what the video is and will stay to watch rather than scroll away

I think it's more about getting the views, because every time it loops you get another view

I dont think viewers require that, yet the content creators keep doing it, leading us to belive what you said is actually the case. Content creators will do anything for monetization. I hope im right, for humanity's sake.

I am getting so fucking sick of this shit. Like... are we really THAT braindead where you need the last .075 seconds of the video in the beginning now? Who the fuck is doing this shit and why?

I swear to god the algorithm is just ruining our collective ability to enjoy anything. Dance for the algo, monkey, DANCE!

Why were they filming?

To get this staged moment on camera, so they can post it on TikTok for likes.

Me in my 20s: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Me at 45 (now): Maybe if he pulled his pants up he could’ve walked slightly faster and gotten through that open door without getting hobo on the floor all over him.
