This trend of showing the end of a video before the actual video is so annoying

  1. 4 hours ago

    It is so annoying that content online now feels the need to put a videos payoff right at the start, and then go back to show the process or build up.

    Part of the fun of watching something wild happen, or some insane craft is the journey of seeing the process, but when I click something and am immediately shown the end product/result I just lose all motivation to keep going. You already took away the satisfaction of the "wow" moment, so why watch the whole thing just to see what you already showed me.

    I know it's a dumb thing to be frustrated with, but it is very much a trend that leads to me giving content I would otherwise watch much less attention. Cool, you showed me the thing, I'm gonna keep scrolling now.
