Start ending videos with “wait til the beginning of the next video!” instead of “see you next time!”
Telling me to subscribe is a great way to make me deliberately not subscribe.
Just as bad are videos that end before the reason you are watching. Like someone cleaning up some mess and they don’t show the finished result.
Even worse is captions saying what happens. Like it’ll be a video of a baby trying to sit on a chair and missing and falling…and the caption will say “bro missed his chair”.
Why does a 7 second video need spoilers?
It’s the attention span shrinking as time goes by.
I have a brilliant idea actually; a video sharing site with a maximum video length of one second. “How much can you fit in a second? Find out for only $10/month”
That just made me miss Vine and early Twitter… Attention span be damned, there’s an art to crafting a good joke with a length constraint that I don’t see much on the internet anymore

The worst is people verbally explaining what you’re seeing like a fucking documentary. It’s extra bad because they stole the video they’re narrating.
Even better is a split screen video where the bottom half is someone playing Minecraft or some really simple platform game because people don’t have the attention span to learn some dumb fact without also watching some game on half of their screen.
I really hate this version of the internet.

I’ve never seen those in any of my feeds, thankfully. Probably because I tend to watch longer videos and…“original” videos (no overlayed people or other stuff)
Same, but once in a while I start watching a short from one of my subscriptions and then start scrolling. I guess because I watch some gaming content, YouTube thinks I want to watch that drivel.
I did X and this happened!
Also, if the title of a news article is in the form of a question I just mutter to myself “no” and keep scrolling without even reading it.
