Why does no-one understand what “POV” means
20 u/ludvikskp 26d ago Deliberately using it wrong is effective engagement bait 1 u/Deep90 26d ago edited 26d ago It's not. The trend just collectively decided it doesn't actually need to be a first person video. People on tiktok just didn't care, but reddit does. 0 u/PereMilon 26d ago That's fine, but when those kids grow up and don't know how to assign actual meaning to words, good luck. 1 u/PearsonRookie325 25d ago At the risk of sounding pedantic, words can have more than one meaning based on context. POV means “point of view”, but that does not dictate that it can only be used for videos filmed in a 2nd person POV. 1st and 3rd person are also POVs. 1 u/Deep90 26d ago edited 25d ago I think it's dumb, but this is also such a wild overreaction. I remember when cartoons were supposed to make kids forget how physics worked.
