MODERATORS
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.
It says the same thing "Don't touch that dial!" said about your generation. Which is nothing: the advertiser is admitting what follows is uninteresting.
except that's for something like an upcoming 15 minute ad break while the caption is for a 15 second video that's already started
Whether it's 15 seconds, minutes or hours doesn't matter, because they care about the decision that we make immediately.
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.
