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.

    I was telling someone earlier that tumblr is the only social media I can use for mindless fun. Stuff on tumblr at least feels somewhat organic and weird. There will be a post like, “we need fuckable cities” and it’ll have like 60k notes. Meanwhile the TikTok/insta/Facebook crap is like shitty square video aspect ratio with a vertically shot iPhone video in it stolen by the account and not credited and the caption is “she was NOT expecting what happened 😁🤣😂😂😂😱😱 watch till the end!!”
