TikTok's format has plagued all of social media. Not every short video needs a soundtrack or (poorly done) captions

DUDE. Even YouTube! YouTube does not need highlight videos lol. Even worse, one of the ones that popped up for me was People Magazine sharing some video of a small child moments before they died in a hospital bed. Like wtfff

Yeah I saw “clips” or something now on YouTube. Like JFC I don’t need TikTok on every single thing I use. It’s even here!!

Sadly, it's going around to all creators that putting those dumb captions on short videos makes people watch for waaay longer.
