I immediately skip when I hear/see::
Lol my mind went straight to thinking this was some type of apocalypse trend.
Short form video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
When a "Shorts" starts with Watch Till the end for "X" & spouts a big load of Bull throughout the start, yeah it's Clickbait
Post like a bot get blocked like a bot
i always interpret “watch to the end” as being a euphemism for “i did not edit this video properly” or “ipad babies are the intended audience of this video”. in any case, i will not be watching that video.
End comes after 10 minutes of video with nothing happening. And when something does happen, it's half out of frame and completely underwhelming.
Also the video cuts out ten seconds too soon to really rub it in
It's like having to wait through an ad on Duolingo except without the reward.
I've been blissfully unaware of this trend, because I'm not on any other social media! I get that posting this is a bit of smug self-satisfaction, which nobody likes, but I feel strongly that corporate social media is a scourge, and that far too many people farm out their critical thinking to random "content creators." Black-box content algorithms are not doing you any favors, and they will affect your thinking if you subject yourself to them.
I've seen it twice on lemmy just today
I have blocked at least one "videos" community, since I have no interest in watching anything masquerading as informative. I've been on Lemmy a bunch lately, so I can only assume that I've preemptively blocked the instance or community where it's being posted.

Yeah... unliked and blocked, moving on.
Like the face people make for the thumbnails
This face almost made me downvote you.
Kinda your own fault for being on Tiktok in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There’s been a recent flood of it here, though. A new (i think) page titled ‘gifs’ started flooding my All feed and pretty much every post is a “watch till the end” for a 10sec clip…🙄
Most of those are reposted by the same account. You just need to ban a few accounts and the feed is clean again.
Oh yeah, im no stranger to blocking users and entire communities on this platform….there’s just usually the initial wave of whatever the new spam is until i can get my feed cleaned up again.

TLDR(after clicking through 21 slides that each load a new website): She had a benign mole on her shoulder.
This applies to shorts that start with "this is crazy" and "this is insane".
I hate the slugs who overlay themselves front-and-center over another video to repeatedly point at whatever they want you to observe while steadily breathing through their mouth.
It's even worse when they first point to their ear and then their eye to say, "LISHEN 'n LOOKSH, bruh.."
We are truly in a Renaissance of fucking idiocy.
I can count on one hand the number of videos I've seen where "wait until the end" holds true.
The most recent in years is a video of a dog chewing on something. The owner approaches it and the dog lets go of a hose which then sprays the owner.
Was not expecting that.
Reminds me of a teacher that kept telling us about the intended syllabus every day. But complaining that he had to remove stuff because there was not enough time for everything, while wasting half an hour everyday instead of going for what was possible.
And the constant lamenting on how we're behind the syllabus and how we need to move on, like it's a race and not an educational process.
New trends
It says something of the Tik-tok generations attention span if you need to put a "wait till the end" reminder for a 10 second video.
Btw if I see this anywhere its an instant downvote/skip.
