      The left 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 right 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.

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