I have been using Tiktok for the last 2 months. I have also posted some videos of myself talking alone about various subjects. My last serie of videos were about "what I like and what I hate about tiktok".
I have even gained some "followers" (around 1200) so I can use the live streaming function of Tiktok (one needs to have more than 1k subscribers to unlock this function). But the more I am using Tiktok the more I am considering leaving this platform!
Yes there are some really funny/creative videos that's about 4% or 5% of what I can see and that's pretty much the only reason why I keep browsing Tiktok. But the rest of the content is in my opinion really dumb. Maybe the algorithm got me wrong, but what I see is basically people trying to copy each other with more or less talent again and again, or some accounts posting stolen bits of videos or even movies. That's all. I should mention that most of the content I am watching on Tiktok is in French and I believe made in France maybe US content is more interesting I can't comment on that.
I have had some good laugh watching some tiktok but I haven't learnt anything interesting or meaningful and I don't understand how people claim they learn stuff on this platform since the maximum length of a video is 3 minutes. I personally need more time to warp my head around something. I am a slow learner.
I also find there are too much restriction to really enjoy this platform. One example is the 150 characters limit in the comment section. This is really annoying both for people who post content and for people who only watch videos.
I understand Tiktok can be interesting and addictive for a moment , but after a while it become too much repetitive and annoying.
