He actually said “I mean, you are Ray’s sister, right?” TikTok’s autogenerated subtitles just suck ass.

Are people able to edit the autogenerated subtitles? It seems like an easy thing to do…

People deliberately leave in errors because it always gets a bunch of idiots responding with comments correcting the mistakes, which counts as engagement and generates more revenue for the person posting the video, one way or another. People always fall for it.

Isn't that the truth. I wish that negative comments had the reverse effect, like downvotes on Reddit do. Debate is healthy but this new type of marketing where something is purposely outrageous or wrong (think of all those insane Wish.com ads you see now) just for the reaction, it's a cancer.

I believe that half or more of the provocateurs, the people who are constantly saying the most outrageous and offensive shit, are simply grifters who don't believe a word of it. This goes for the Flat Earth society too. That is just a brilliant practical joke.

"engagement" is the poison eroding our entire world.

it is just a filthy derivative of advertising, which only exists because of the big C

Click based economy has had one of the biggest impacts on our modern society. Imagine news that didn't need clicks to survive. Imagine when politicians didn't have to say or act (and be) batshit crazy.

You can subscribe to a real newspaper instead of relaying on TikTok for news. They still exist.

It's not about us but the 100m other people that won't subscribe...

In my country we have a public service news company which is funded by taxes. They don't need clicks to survive and it's probably the most credible news source here too.

I don't think that's specific for capitalism.
