Isn’t that TikTok? Content creators create some really interesting and cool content.

And then Tiktok overlays unrelated fortnite footage while also putting giant cartoon bubble captions, but only 1 word at a time. Sometimes in an AI voice.

And try as I might, I cannot endorse that style/formula. Call me a lame boomer, but that just steals other talented peoples work, and shits all over it with almost zero effort.

Though as I type this, I realize this is Lemmy, and the majority of you probably won’t use Tiktok either for similar reasons, along with it not being open source.

Though to be fair, I would still hate the tiktok culture if it had originated on loops.

Or the reaction videos where the original video plays in the corner while the person points, nods, and makes faces
Or the videos where they take an old comedy skit and film it to make it look like their original content.
