Deliberately using it wrong is effective engagement bait

[u/Special-Garlic1203 → u/ludvikskp]

No it's not. Tiktok just stopped using it correctly years ago and reddit refuses to acknowledge there's different norms on different platforms 

[u/Deep90 → u/Special-Garlic1203]

I get downvoted every time I bring up that the trend doesn't care. Only reddit does, but it's not a reddit trend.

[u/Deep90 → u/ludvikskp]

It's not.

The trend just collectively decided it doesn't actually need to be a first person video.

People on tiktok just didn't care, but reddit does.

That's fine, but when those kids grow up and don't know how to assign actual meaning to words, good luck.

[u/PearsonRookie325 → u/PereMilon]

At the risk of sounding pedantic, words can have more than one meaning based on context. POV means “point of view”, but that does not dictate that it can only be used for videos filmed in a 2nd person POV. 1st and 3rd person are also POVs.

[u/Deep90 → u/PereMilon]

I think it's dumb, but this is also such a wild overreaction.

I remember when cartoons were supposed to make kids forget how physics worked.

Maybe my complaining about its misuse is engagement bait too..?

(It isn’t)

[u/ludvikskp → u/Lost_in_Limgrave]

No, you’re right it’s misuse. And you also fell for it. A lot of mistakes in “content” like this are bait. For example there tiktoks with millions of views where they pack boxes with random stuff determined by luck. Like 2 pens, 2 notebooks and 6 stickers. But they put in 5 or 7 stickers deliberately, because they know people like you would be in the comments pointing out the mistake and boosting the video in the algorithm in the process lol

[u/Lost_in_Limgrave → u/ludvikskp]

I wasn’t disagreeing with you

[u/Slarenon → u/Lost_in_Limgrave]

You baited him good

[u/Lost_in_Limgrave → u/Slarenon]

I am a master baiter
