It isn't that amusing. It just shows that HN isn't a monoculture.
This is why comments complaining about HN monoculture get upvoted. Because a large enough piece of the userbase agrees with both sides. If they didn't, those comments would just get downvoted and you would never see them.
Kinda funny how that works. "See, lots of people agree that HN is a hivemind!" Proving it's not a hivemind.

I find myself in state regularly. At least I know now how to recognize the paralizing absurdity. Still very often a new solution is best when it massages an old one to fix problems but the world seems to operate by big deviations that shock the status quo and then new and old blend again.
Everyone’s a critic. It’s always easier to dismiss and be pessimistic than embrace and be constructive. In fact this very comment I write is dismissive itself.

Don't you know? Recruiter supposed to hire you by using their mind tricks, duh.
For entry level jobs requiring young people that are customer facing, a video application makes a lot of sense to me.
It also removes a lot of the awkwardness Gen Z's might feel going down to their local retailer and asking if they are hiring.
My instinct says props to TikTok for at least trying something that's different and thinking a bit outside of the box
