Boredom buster/subway surfer on the screen while technical explanations are being given and headlines/weather/ads/whatever else being on the screen during the news being the same thing I think?

It’s the same thing

But what thing is it?
Gap@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The right has a tiktok with multiple videos playing at the same time in order to increase the average watch time of every viewer so it goes further in the algorithm.
The left has the news combined with other news things at the same time (in order to increase watch time as well I assume)
OP makes the revelation that both are doing the same. Namely adding more content in small windows in order to increase watchtime.
This is funny because it’s generally considered low quality (as I consider it low quality and therefore everyone does) and the news doing the same means that said news is also low quality and probably should be avoided.

Ah, I avoid tiktok for reasons like this, I thought OP edited it together for reasons I was oblivious to. Thank you.

Aw jeez Louis, it’s just like the time my attention span was too low to understand a meme.

I’m sorry, is this comment a reference to something?

I don’t watch the “news” but it is absolutely not the same. All that bullshit is different varying levels of relevant information so you don’t have to sit and wait for commercials and other news segments. It is information at a quick glance whereas TikTok is all about keeping you engaged.
Yeah they both show more than one topic at a time but that’s where the similarities end. But sure, it’s the sAmE

The ultimate shitpost, I guess.
