Now the hard part is to find something on tiktok worth downloading.
- krnlpnc 5y agoSuch a worn out joke :) The platform is essentially short form youtube, there’s content covering virtually every interest/topic.
- randomhodler84 5y agoVirtually every cringe. It’s a trash fire. Why anyone would want to preserve these is beyond my understanding.
- MMS21 5y agoData hoarding is a mental illness
- nullandvoid 5y agoIWhen a friend has shared a video, they try to get you to sign up with this horrible collection of "similar reccomended" content (90% sexually suggestive thumbnails other 10% really dumb clickbait) every time. If for that reason alone I will never join and have my brain rotted by their algorithms.
- sodality2 5y agoThey're pandering to the average person, and obviously it seems to work given its explosive popularity. If you actually use it and follow programming, engineering, STEM, etc type videos, you will of course be recommended similar.
- ZYinMD 5y agoEverybody's tiktok is different, the algorithm knows you well, and always gives you what you like. If you look at other people's tiktok, it's always very dumb, but when you open your own, it's always good, because you never hate your own taste.
- cardiffspaceman 5y agoI used to download stuff, back in the day, when it was actually a commitment due to the lack of high speed last-mile and lack of Torrent. Eventually, the experience of obtaining things interactively made it sane to only download things from academic sites, which tend to serve the public "not as well as you'd hope", except ACM. But the fact is that as far as TikTok goes, saving to the PC would be a (poor) way of overcoming the lack (as far as I can tell) of ways to organize what one encounters in such a way that one could practically find one's way to it in the future.
