Stopping you scrolling is surely intentional! It's to get you used to unskippable videos so that people don't hate it so much when they do ads like that
I personally think using TikTok as a search engine is really concerning. Not only does it not teach kids how to properly research factual information but in terms of like restaurants and stuff it will only give you what’s popular or what’s trending recently? Instead of what actually is near you. Which I also feel is bad. Also I don’t know if the comment section has changed or anything since I stopped using the app but me personally I feel that TikTok has the worst most toxic comment sections and the only comment sections even slightly compared is instagram reels.
The same thing happened to my sister who had her baby a month ago... She kept coming across birth horror stories and it made her super anxious! But the labor went so well, the baby is healthy, and they're happy
I can buy that a lot of tiktok comment sections are at least neutral - but look at the comments of autistic or disabled creators - especially women - and it quickly becomes a different picture. (I mean, tiktok inventing new ways to say the r slur that won't be caught by moderation is evidence enough in itself.)
@@spicyunihornand children. There are lots of “mommy” channels that exploit their little kids with really intimate and sexualized videos. The videos have thousands of saves. It’s horrible
ive been on tik tok since the whole '' ' '' gamers vs furries '' ' ' thing (2017/18 ish) and it feels a whole WORLD different. i remember when there was no personalised fyp and EVERYONE just seen the same videos.
TH-cam unskippable ads are annoying fs but 90% of tik toks are some sort of ad that’s meant to be instantly scrolled past but they still get the TT ad revenue
The rose coloured glasses toward tik tok is so weird to watch I couldn't recommend enough people taking a month (or forever) off social media and see how quickly your view on everything changes. Tik tok is 100% the most bizarre dystopian platform to date
@MsRainingDays for sure it would be considered social media. Just wasn't one that was causing issues for me. I also kept pinterest as a crafter. I just have limits on how long can be spent on the apps, how many times its opened a day etc using the screenzen app. I don't really watch shows and movies so yt is my main form of entertainment so it's just what works for me 😁
If tik tok is banned in the US your job will become more important than ever before! Just post your FYP on its entirety like people do with old MTV broadcasts. I’m also very pleased with the amount of love for Oreo the dachshund!
You might have missed where he said the Covid era, meaning peak of Covid. In 2021 when content creators and celeb level status ppl all over social media would lament and say ‘when I look back 5years ago it was so alive and happy’ or ‘it was so much better in 2016, that was the end of an era, the best year ever online” when it was actually a really argumentative year more akin to a year being more like a nonstop social dumpster fire. @arcade3198
The first time I open tiktok I saw a person bawling while holding their dead cat's body to the camera. Never fking again lol, I'll rather just watch tiktok content on ig 5 months later
Way late for this but honestly tiktok has been easily my favourite social media platform. It's still not great but I actually enjoy my time on it rather than it being something I'm forced to use because my friends are on it, and it isn't trying to constantly shove me down a far right pipeline the way instagram reels and youtube recommendations do.
"They dont want AI generated slop, they want human generated slop" I COULD NOT AGREE MORE
Solidarity with the Noodle Mine workers 😔
Shout out to Sheffields super noodle miners of 98, many great noodle lives were lost that day 😢🥡🥢
Saying Tiktok isn't enshittifying is wild. It definitely is

I agree

Facebook comment section is a lot worse actually, it's crazy
I had to delete tiktok because as soon as I became pregnant, it was showing me babies who had stopped breathing and loss videos!

I remember wearing almost the exact same shirt back in 1993.
That’s so harsh! 😮
But, to be fair, I think I saw SRK wear that shirt in a 90’s Bollywood movie …
Really liking the shirt, it's giving lowkey circus vibes (positive)
Yeah! Especially in the black and white
Saying things used to be better used to be a lot better than it is now.
This gives stewart lee vibes

This is why I will never download tiktok. That, and the exploitation of underage girls; as they've found ways to bypass moderation for that too.

petition to bring back the podcast:
“Human generated slop” 😂 I might get a tattoo of that
My petpeeve feature is autoscroll, when you get to an ad, it just repeats the ad and doesn't scroll on, then just requests you to click on the ad.

I'm guilty of being the millennial watching IG reels.
enshittification
or as others may know it as, Marxist critique of capitalism
my tiktok is full of North Korean propaganda which is fascinating
Stop liking so many Kim Jong Un thirst edits
that is biZZARE
Your description of the comments quality had me finish setting up my account. An hour in, i'm pretty happy :)

I've had YT red for like a decade or something, totally forgot ads even exist here
Just signed up to TH-cam premium, it's a breath of fresh air.
I hate tiktok shop but they did sell me on the giant turtle shell, look I’m not superwoman

So funny that I came here from TikTok only to be sold on TikTok being a better platform than TH-cam
I miss the days of TH-camr News
Here's a quick way to freak everyone out: 2016 was 8 years ago.
Gross enshitment or whatever it's called - great theory, horrible name
I've deleted tiktok now, it doesn't benefit my health
YES!! I’ve been wondering why I don’t go on TikTok anymore 🤔
bro rly said 2016 was five years ago
The soul knows what the mind does not

i’ve had tiktok since 1982 and i think it’s only uphill from here ! 🙏
Dude your Dutch accent was inspiring
ALL social media, streaming and gaming companies have become “enshitified”. Entertainment in general actually.
I am so convinced that Benedict is secretly Oreo boyboy's father
reels has the WORST comment section out of the three main shortform video platforms, people are evil on there
NEW SCROLL DEEP VIDEO WHOOOOOO
Can’t believe what Thatcher did to the noodle miners

TG TikTok Shop isn't "allowed" here in the EU
Missed opportunity to drop midroll ads right as youre talking about how many ads are on yt.

I say that with the caveat that I have limited my time on it to like 15 minutes a day, if I was spending more time on it I might think differently.
The dutch accent broke me 😂😂
Loved the northern accent 😀
10:26 i think its bc all the properly horrific people are on Instagram reels
lol thought of the lotr reference and then one of the crew said it!!!!! yes!!!
You said they're not doing the bad thing then described them having done the bad thing
8:30 OREO!!!! I love Oreo so gd much
Facebook is still my main social media 🤧
bring back the numbers segment!!!!!
I don’t appreciate edge Oreo slander
OREO SPOTTED
