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?
Terrible for informative and educational content, absolutely fantastic at destroying your attention span. Unfortunately, this is how most people consume media these days, so it’s something with have to work with, not against.
