I am a visual person. Regardless of platform the uniform delivery style of all videos and shorts is tired. The tropes, the doing it for likes, monetisation, the monotone voice. There is little originality or genuine creativity to it. It could be good but the cycle of garbage combined with the self juicing algorithm makes it really irritating.

Is normal, i would be pissed by a vertically video or photo

That's like saying "I read a book once that I didn't like, so all books are shit"

Tiktok is like all other streams - there's a huge variety of content and it includes a lot of good and innovative creators. Yes, there's a lot of utter shite, just lke reddit, facebook and even Lemmy.

But there's also people who spend time making something good, sharing interesting things about their day and teaching what they know.

Its so bad, even parents and older people have been hooked on reels. Its destructive to attention spans.

kids are growing up watching this trash for 8 hours a day

I remember my parents saying this exact phrase about Saturday morning cartoons in the early 90s. They became glued to Fox News the very same decade. Interestingly, (some) cartoons today have diversity, inclusion, and complex character growth. Others are made by PragerU.

These modern portfolios will also diversify. Teach your kids media literacy and critical thinking to ensure they can find their way. It starts with YOU reviewing these concepts today. Your ability to notice the problem will not protect you.

*Fuck, *ass, *shit

No corporate censorship here.

Sir, this is a Lemmys.

There is a mind-blowing amount of variety on both TikTok and YouTube. Just because these “someones” to which you refer are posting brainrot garbage doesn’t mean the entire platform is like that.

You can say bad words it's okay

I dunno, why don't you figure out how to articulate what you don't like about it before you condemn it as a format for communication?

I'm not a TikTok user, but I've been shown some very funny clips on there. I think there is some good content and creativity happening on there. But I think the constant scrolling through short clips is doubtlessly terrible for people's minds. Not to mention the algorithmic control, limits on speech, etc.

why are you getting angry at low quality content on reddit of all places?

You sound like me. I hate it. I down use it and I am keeping note of the people who do. I truly believe this people should be considered dangerous, in the sense that if we leave up the future of our humanity to them it will crash and burn. These people are dim witted, and crude people. You aren't alone but unfortunately we are the majority. Most people would say "what's the problem you dont have to look at it?" 🤪. F_ck those people. They don't have the mental ability to see that this is a disease at this point.

There's a lot of other shorr from content. There's a lot that's just quick highlights of longer form stuff for instance.

My YouTube Shorts algorithm doesn't have any of that type of shit in it. Because that's not the type of stuff that I watch, that's not the stuff it recommends to be either.

If you're using a new or privacy focused web profile, it's going to show a lot of random things because it has no idea what you would want.

Ive only seen the "viral" ones on the news and such.

It really depends on the content, and that's the only thing I can agree with. If one is careful to "train" the algorithm to show certain things, it can be a way to pass the time.

I usually watch them at noon while I wait for my food, because anything else requires too much focus. My eyesight is not as good as it was to read the news on the phone, so just watching a bunch of funny cats jumping around is good enough.

I'm no one important, not a rocket scientist or quantum physics professor, so I don't need to watch dissertations on mathematics. If I'm dumb, the world keeps spinning. I think that's why a lot of adults have started watching those clips as well, we just don't take ourselves so seriously anymore.
