My first TikTok reached a whopping 100k views, but now I only get 50 on average. Is that intentional? It sure feels like it.
It’s called a hook.
And yes it’s intentional by the algorithm to keep you engaged.
Just like a slot machine. Good ol visual drugs.
Actually? I’ve ever only seen gifs reposted on here or…before…On Reddit. I can’t say I’ve ever been on their site. That just seems evil. Although that sounds exactly what a huge platform would do.
Yep.
It’s mostly fake. But it’s all deliberate.
When you use TikTok, remember that.
First one’s free. It’s an addiction mechanic trying to exploit your psychology that should be illegal.
Most likely they throw the first one in a wide net to see what reaction it gets. Then if there isn’t much engagement it won’t push newer content as much.
These algorithms have already been compromised by AI-generated videos. It’s time to move to the Fediverse, where you can pick a server with rules and content that match your preferences—or create your own. That’s better suited for experienced users, but the real challenge is that most people struggle to decide what they want to see in their feeds 😅
We are already on lemmy
As it happens, the person you replied to isn’t on Lemmy – nord.pub is running Piefed 1.7.0.
- still fediverse.
- the community is called asklemmy
Do you get recompensation for being a pedantic person?
The real challenge is the lack of audience. 50 views would be something to celebrate on a federated video platform. There is no discoverability here
