I'm sure it's just because I'm too old to be in the target demographic but 9 times out of 10 when I see a Tik Tok video online (I don't have an account) the level of narcissism and lack of decorum on display is sickening.

Indeed, and you aren’t the only one who feels that way. There’s a relatively popular YouTube channel dedicated to documenting narcissism on social media https://youtube.com/shorts/iik6btbRXsw https://youtube.com/shorts/iik6btbRXsw

In about 5-10 minutes of use, the TikTok algo will nail your preferences and you won't see those videos anymore. It's the most well-tailored social media platform I've seen. Eventually you will only see what gives you positive vibes (or whatever vibes it is you want to chase.)

  That's not true. There is no content on Tik Tok that gives me positive vibes.

There is far more to TikTok than a lot of the garbage you hear about online. It’s kinda like the Reddit in that regard - the default content sucks, but there’s some decent deep stuff.

Maybe you should get an account, then you'd see things tailored to your taste. TikTok is like blogs, Twitter, Reddit, Discord, YouTube etc. in the sense that what and who you follow makes a huge difference. Curation is the name of the game. And it hands down has the best recommender among all these services.

Whenever someone talks about TikTok, I remember how MySpace was attracting users because someone has a very sexual images on it and it's the same how TikTok is now promoted.
