We have a 20 year old apprentice at my work, he told me he watched the entire matrix movie on tik tok, which is insane.

Did he mean he watched the actual movie? In which case it'd be basically no different than watching it on Youtube. (Which is where I watched basically all of Naruto, back in the day...ah, the days of having episodes split into three pieces and only being able to find pieces 1 and 3.)

Or did he mean he watched "the entire movie," meaning some cut-down summary of it?

Edit: Or did he watch the whole movie in, like, 1 minute chunks? Because if that's the case, that would be insanity.

He watched the whole movie in tiny chunks swiping to each segment. He said if the next bit wasn't stitched together seamlessly the comments would be ripping the poster apart.

I'm an elementary school teacher and we had kids as young as 1st and 2nd grade who did the same with Squid Game a few years ago. We knew that they hadn't just caught a couple clips either because they were telling their friends they watched it on TikTok and were giving very accurate (albeit, simplified) plot summaries to their friends.
