I stumbled on to this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDnyhGL ... -GDTVTHZqS
It's some sort of attempt by the WMF to whitewash the workings of their cult to outsiders, in their trademark corporate nothing-speak style, of course. No one seems to care much about it going by the views. Also, it is in all caps for some stupid reason, not my editorializing.
I think this is some sort of attempt to appeal to the tiktok crowd of teens with 5-second attentions spans. I'm surprised that they made them widescreen videos and not "shorts".

They probably DON'T KNOW HOW. And they really should put this shit on Tiktok itself.Bbb23sucks wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:49 amI think this is some sort of attempt to appeal to the tiktok crowd of teens with 5-second attentions spans.

Let's see, does Wikimedia even have a Tiktok? They have this, with a miserable 2163 followers and almost no traffic (full of extremely boring videos about trivia, all narrated by robot voices, and none of the "Wiki Minute" crap):
https://www.tiktok.com/@wikimedia.foundation
And this is empty
https://www.tiktok.com/@wikimedia
And right below them is this....some kind of ad agency? It's all in Arabic. The WMF needs to sue someone. Ha ha.

Hell if I know what this is.

Does THAT help to convince you that the WMF is an incompetent brainless beast full of petty ass-biters? This is some of the worst "promotional" work for a nonprofit I've ever seen. They have hundreds of millions of dollars to play with, and this is what they do with it.
