MODERATORS
My wife started watching tt, I had just escaped the youtube client, reddit and facebook. I watched we swipe past 6 things and pause to watch one for 30 seconds, then swipe through 4 more. OHHH FUCK NO, NOT TODAY SATAN.
I do have to admit, She gets her news a LOT faster than I do. But she also gets a tremendous amount of knee-jerk conjecture.
Honey, did you hear X?
Umm, that doesn't sound quite right.
grumble well I just saw it, but whatever
One trick that may help is asking her if she has a reputable source. I got sucked into believing what I saw on reddit a few years ago and that's what my wife did. Got to the point that when I tell her the news I say who said it if it sounds sensational and like it may be unrealistic.
Crux of the problem, I fear. There's no real way to sus out that a ticktocker is reputable or not, and as opposed to Reddit, those people are getting paid for eyes. Unless you're looking at a video from a legend, they could be right or doing it for the watches.
