It’s very clear that TikTok causes brain rot:
- hours upon hours of scrolling;
- damaged attention spans;
- boring lip sync “memes”;
- whatever the fuck my little brother is watching;
- KKKringy song over equally KKKringe footage;
- TWs for almost literally anything. I’ve seen [TW: Aesthetic];
- iPad kids
You know? This applies to YT shorts. Now my attention span is so short I can’t even read theory for 5 minutes without thinking “What’s on TikTok?”
Let’s not even forget the KKKringe-ass use of 733tspeak, wtf man.
If I ever have kids, I’d waste my entire bank account just to stop them from getting in this hellhole of a site.
I’ve never really liked short-form content, I find it boring. For some reason, everyone my age seems to be obsessed with it. I don’t understand why. The only social media I use is Lemmygrad and Matrix with an occasional comment on Reddit. I haven’t even charged my phone in months because I find phones useless for anything but calling people when it’s absolutely necessary.
Yea, looks like I have to use family guy pipeline technique to radicalize people.
This is interesting, I’ve noticed this too, specifically on TikTok. “Good” content creators (those who share Parenti lecture clips, information on theory, or just educational content) have to pair it with a video game or something at the bottom to keep people seeing/watching/stimulated. It’s fucked up, imo
