Only when it stops getting views. These and similar types of videos can garner views, which can then in turn garner money. If it’s a low-effort/high-reward scenario, why not try it?

I don’t like them anymore than you do cause they’re so predictable but it makes people laugh and thus want more. That 10 second dopamine rush is addictive.

Indeed, it turns out that high quality content is high effort, and therefore has a weaker ROI. I know it’s simply game theory, I just hate this particular game.
