We're entering the extreme copy/paste era of short-form video. Yes, trends and ideas have always been copied. The difference is that now, it takes 0 effort. The copies are fully automated with AI. You can just run a /skill scraping IG/TT for top performing posts, automatically recreating them with your avatar or diff characters en masse, at scale. People are creating dozens of variations, running them all as trial reels bc there is no penalty for quantity. Unfortunately, this is going to 100X. Because it works, and marketers are starting to figure out how to max leverage it. I think short-form video algorithms will have to be seriously re-thought in the coming year.
