So after spending hours scrolling twitter I decided to degrade even further and installed TikTok. I used it for like 50 minutes and it just keeps showing me cute girls dancing to obnoxious music. Also most of the videos are in Russian despite me turning every profile setting to English in a desperate attempt to get away from my people.

When will I get the content for sophisticated adults such as myself? Where are cute girls preaching bizarre political ideologies? Where are baby witches that cursed the moon I used to hear so much about?

Am I supposed to somehow find accounts to follow or will the algorithm figure out the dark depths of my soul once I watch enough videos? Is TikTok just a young man's game?

Edit: Maybe people can also share some good channels (?) so I can jumpstart the algorithm...

      I'm a young whippersnapper and I don't get it either. Half of the videos are just people putting their face in front of a meme and pretending to laugh

      As an even older person it reminds me of Vine, which is basically just a platform for short video clips you can consume quickly.

      I like watching videos of people work. Some good videos of people walking off the job or showing poor conditions. Idk and cat videos

      Most content is higher effort than that (but not by much), but the fact that your low effort content generally comes with your face attached makes it far better than twitter, not to mention that scrolling to the next video is free
