I installed it out of curiosity, and God damn, this is the worst form of social media yet. It seems like it's designed to accomplish two things: keep me scrolling, and eventually make me depressed. It's basically paralyzing to use.
I didn't make an account, so I guess its a bit like looking at the front page of YouTube, which is also terrible. But out of all the social media I've used in my life tiktok seems like the worst because of how much it sucks you in, and the type of content on it. Runner up is Instagram, but I deleted my account there years ago and never looked back.
Call me a boomer or w/e, but this shit melts your brain even more than everything else already does.
How depressing it is varies a lot from person to person. My feed is like half comedy and half depressing horrors, my partner’s is like 90% possums, raccoons, and other adorable creatures
I don't even know if it's the content that's depressing, most of it was just vanilla garbage, but it's how it sucks me and keeps me scrolling.
