If anyone has of yet not watched Max Headroom... You might want to.
Does anyone else read a subhead about "creating “overstimulation,” “ADHD,” or “content sludge” videos designed to appeal to a very online audience with a short attention span" and immediately think of blipverts, from Max Headroom?
Turns out that's not really what these are (thank goodness), but it's so rare I get a good reason to post anything with a #MaxHeadroom tag, I'm just going for it.

I'm pretty sure it was a dream now because i feel like I've "seen" the ad for it since i posted this but I've only been awake for an hour.
Which is SUPER weird bc it means my dreams are remixing stupid, shitty ads and misinformation. If this kind of thing happens more as you get older, no wonder boomers are out of their f*cking minds.
Just say no to #blipverts. #maxheadroom

TikTok as #subversive "addictive drug," in "race to the bottom of the brain stem" reminds me of #MaxHeadroom #blipverts

TikTok is now the most popular app for teens in the United States, and is influenced by China — our main geopolitical rival. This week on Your Undivided Attention, we bring you a bonus episode about TikTok. Co-hosts Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin explore the nature of the TikTok threat, and how we might alleviate it.
Had a fun editing challenge trying to make something coherent out of a load of very different things people sent in for the Orkney News Doors Open Day! #unhinged #DigiDoorsOpen #DODSCOT #blipverts
A certain #onlineVideos site has gotten aggressive and prolific with its video pre-rolls. And my DNS adblock presently fails blocking those.
https://Invidio.us/ skips that shit, however.
I checked how long it took me to realise that the vid was starting with an ad and pause it: 1.15 seconds.
Dear Advertisers: that's all the time you're gonna get.
I foresee #blipverts.
I'm not yet defaulting to searching #Invidious as perceived results relevance is slightly less. But it's damned close.
