I fucking hate that apparently it's necessary to add a countdown to keep people's attention for more than two seconds and I have ADHD.
Same, and I'm not well-versed into the neurology of it all but I think it's something way worse than the symptoms of ADHD.
Five seconds is well within my attention span. I forget everything the minute I open a door or open a new tab, but this ain't that. I can watch something in silence, my brain distracts itself, that's kind of the whole problem. This though? This is about promising an impending dopamine hit to a restless junkie who was about to scroll down for a quicker hit.
No, scratch that. This is about the video editor constructing a strawman of that restless junkie, pandering to that, followed by a (proto-)fascist algorithm eeking out every last bit of video retention from its users for maximum profit. Even if 95 % of users don't actually need the countdown to keep watching, and the 5 % remaining really should not be using that app for their mental well-being, the algorithm will mercilessly incentivize creators to put in the countdown.
Since legislating algorithmic attention-hoarding doesn't sem likely to hit the political docket anytime soon, the only winning move is not to play.
Holy wall of text batman
Same here, I thought "if something screams tiktok, than this"
