Right! I don’t get the hate

Because there's no critical thought about who is delivering that information to you, where they got it from, what biases and/or agendas they may or may not have, etc...

If you are learning about the world through 15 second videos of a random internet stranger talking about a subject, then you are going to end up with a fucked up (and just objectively incorrect) worldview. But I guess it's OK because they have a friendly face.

You comment as if me reading your 15 second comment isn’t the same. Who are you to judge if unknown viewers think critically? This is a cringe take carried over from reddit

they can but usually don't, when tiktok was pretty new I became a nazi because of it and I stayed that until I saw how the government (any and every government) is a corrupt force that lies to you amd hurts you in other ways
