MODERATORS
Tik Tok, mostly because it represent "fast entertainment" and is the epitome of "the algorithm chooses for you" which is what I despise the most. Now everythink tries to be like it because it's famous, and everythink is more shitty.
But thats what all social media has always been? Or long been
To a certain extent yes, but at least on most social you at least follow single creators you enjoy, and you are usually presented with a lost of content they made so you choose. With tik tok you are served a random video and the algorithm chooses the next one, I don't even know if when finished to see a video you can get a list of reccommended of you are served one only. It's just a differenr structure.
I never understood the appeal of Tik Tok. I hated it the second it came out. What's the point of watching a 15-second vid of someone lip-syncing to a song?! I don't get the appeal.
