    I still do not understand the point of the tiktok format. What is the benefit of having some rando's live reaction face on screen, squishing the view of what we're actually here to watch into a tiny little box on the side, half-covered by a bunch of on-screen text? Wouldn't it be better to just like... be presented with the video you're there to watch, instead of all this other crap?

    idk man I just don't get it

      Not sure about stitches and duets, I kinda think it can be entertaining to see if someone had the same reaction you did. Parasocial relationships, I guess.

      As for Tiktok itself, a lot of it is more like Vine. I don't know what that means other than people miss Vine and try to re-create those types of short form videos.

      It's been a thing for decades in Japanese game shows, TikTok didn't invent it
