I've been blissfully unaware of this trend, because I'm not on any other social media! I get that posting this is a bit of smug self-satisfaction, which nobody likes, but I feel strongly that corporate social media is a scourge, and that far too many people farm out their critical thinking to random "content creators." Black-box content algorithms are not doing you any favors, and they will affect your thinking if you subject yourself to them.

I've seen it twice on lemmy just today

I have blocked at least one "videos" community, since I have no interest in watching anything masquerading as informative. I've been on Lemmy a bunch lately, so I can only assume that I've preemptively blocked the instance or community where it's being posted.
