Wheel designed to roll, researches say.
Water wet
No friggen way
I for one am shocked.
No shit, all social media is designed to keep user engaged and using the service
Correct. This is not specific to TikTok, and speaks more to the social media paradigm shift as a whole.
I love how these articles come out years after we’re already aware of it.
doesn’t work for me, a bomb of popular stuff without any depth outside of conspiracy and minors dancing, after dozens of videos I can’t find anything interesting or even somewhat smart, it just stress me out and I leave with a bad feeling about the younger generations, wtf are you watching!
Breaking News: Fork found in kitchen
Today at approximately 1:27 PM one of our reporters stumbled upon a fork in the kitchen.
Upon closer investigation, the fork was found to contain remains of plant based structures.
It is still unclear as to why this fork was in the kitchen, but according to the experts this is groundbreaking progress in fork research.
Next up: Scientists at CERN say it is possible for water to wet things.
Glad I never used it. It’s not my scene. Most social media is trash, now.
yeah, Fedi feels so much better, glad to be here with you friends :))
Over that stunningly short amount of time viewing and swiping, the algorithm is able to direct hyper-personalized content to viewers.
I mean, that’s…not really a negative. You could argue that the content is largely fluff (which I think it is, when it comes to short-form video), or maybe that material that appeals to a user isn’t what would help them the most or any number of other things, but being able to find and provide content that is a function of a user’s interests is normally something that one would consider desirable. I’d rather do less scrolling past things that I’m not interested in viewing.
You are making the mistake of assuming this is done for your benefit, though. You are not TikTok’s customer. You are the product, and advertisers are their customers.
They aren’t showing you things you are interested in, they are showing you things their customers are paying to show you.
I can’t stand it when my wife says, “people on TikTok all love this product.”
Right, because they’re being paid to say that.
No. Way.
