    They could probably retain users simply by running ads every 10 minutes, rather than every 3 minutes.

      Oh but they don’t care about anything but short form content. If they could ditch supporting long form content today they would.

        Nah they want lots of short form and also like 10 hour long videos that can play 200 ads in it that you forget is on in the background. They want tiktok and broadcast TV.

        They really just want to show you ads.

      Money/s is the more used metric. Retention is secondary or even tertiary to money/s. Behold the algorithm, great and terrible, sheathed in robes of black and grasping sickle white.
