same method as FB, they pretend there is still engagement, by drumming up interactions.
Yea, like their failed video shorts in an attempt to compete with YouTube (which I also don’t use anymore). Basically they both claim user engagement is the user watches like 10 seconds of a video, which is hard to move away from in that time.
youtube shorts is just rehaisng tiktok shorts, where they steal the content form. if you arnt following a specific channel, its usual Thirst traps, right wing content, or AI.
