Yeah you're right but staring at 30 second clips of better lives than your selected by algorithm to bias your mind in some way to perpetuate either the existence of the platform or the product being sold is part of the downward spiral. At some point it becomes compulsion rather than choice. That's mental slavery by shitting in your head and I will judge that with extreme prejudice.
- patrickaljord 6y ago> Yeah you're right but staring at 30 second clips of better lives That's instagram. TikTok is about average people having normal lives doing funny skits, often making fun of their own hardship rather than bragging about how they're living the high life as in other social medias.
- m0xte 6y agoThat's your bubble. I've seen other people's and it's not. Instagram is worse I agree.
- patrickaljord 6y agoThere are people flexing indeed and it shows up in my bubble too but I would say average people doing funny skits is what defines TikTok and what made it so appealing to many and still makes up the biggest part of TikTok content.
- scrollaway 6y agoSo for what it's worth I deeply agree with your edit of your above post. I just dislike putting the onus on the users themselves rather than the platform.
