It’s very clear that TikTok causes brain rot:
- hours upon hours of scrolling;
- damaged attention spans;
- boring lip sync “memes”;
- whatever the fuck my little brother is watching;
- KKKringy song over equally KKKringe footage;
- TWs for almost literally anything. I’ve seen [TW: Aesthetic];
- iPad kids
You know? This applies to YT shorts. Now my attention span is so short I can’t even read theory for 5 minutes without thinking “What’s on TikTok?”
Let’s not even forget the KKKringe-ass use of 733tspeak, wtf man.
If I ever have kids, I’d waste my entire bank account just to stop them from getting in this hellhole of a site.
Hard disagree. You say you haven’t even used the app. It’s way better than IG, YT, Discord combined. China’s apps are just better. The ‘crap’ you are seeing is based on personal algorithms, my algorithm is awesome. TT isn’t just some niche community, it’s massive worldwide and the worst aspects are easily avoidable and are just indicative of the western majority… I use it to ‘search’ for more useful information more than regular search engines. Most westerns have no conceptual media training and it shows.
