I agree, its for the same reason that trailers now have little trailers in the beginning. I mean really, a trailer for a trailer? Apparently its required to keep retention up because even adults are now children that need to be spoon fed.

That sounds like a different issue. With low quality "information" thrust at people from all sides, you have to immediately prove that you're not just AI slop video #63547, because I'm seeing your video on a platform that mostly delivers AI slop that I will scroll past within 3 seconds.

Why am I on a platform that mostly delivers slop? That's a trillion dollar question. The advertising industry won.

Also because if I was on a non-slop platform, it wouldn't be showing me your ad because ads are slop.
