I had sworn off social media about a decade ago. So I was pretty much a passenger as TikTok rose to prominence. I feel TikTok has been the defining social media phenomenon since it emerged. YouTube and Instagram have been forced to copy it and there seem to American congressional hearings twice a day pertaining to TikTok.
You can guess from the first sentence how I feel about it. But I wanted to ask this of people who use this format/engage with it. How do you feel about it?
I hate it. Luckily enough the YT reVanced app makes it possible to hide it so I don´t see them on my phone. I still see them on my Laptop tho and clicked one yesterday. Spent an hour mindlessly scrolling and felt disgusting afterwards. There should at least be an age lock on shorts, I feel like that stuff is melting childrens brains and attention spans but maybe I’m just slowly getting boomer brained as well idk. Definetly not a big fan.
