My mother listens to tiktok as if its the news. I think its where she gets the whole of her modern news and opinions. Liberal feminist tiktok is very cringe.
Tik tok format is pretty damn cringe imo (I know I know, I'm the original thought haver). Music backing over most of it just sounds awful and it gives me sensory overload
Sitting next to other people watching "Tick Tock"* and having to listen to the same 20 second loop of the same crappy pop song eight hundred times is mindshatteringly horrible. And then there's the creepy text to speech dubbing for posters who are too lazy to narrate their own videos.
Yes, you can call me old and a boomer and everything. I feel that way myself.
It's absolutely the worst thing ever. My SO is addicted and likes to watch on full volume. Sometimes I have to tell her to just put on headphones because it's too much, it's too horrible. Plus the content is just mid at best, but usually it just sucks.
Being too neurodivergent to stomach TikTok will be the only thing that will allow my soul to survive the 2020s. My brain is simply not compatible with the next generation of social media, and im thankful

It's extremely, frighteningly addictive.
The first time I went to the site it showed me the worst posts I've ever seen, and I never went again, so fortunately I did not get hooked
