Absolutely. After the WSJ article a year or two ago, I gave it shot. Tried to tune the algorithm by selecting super cars related clips. What I got was a first burst of insanely fucked up content from rage including to glibly funny, you know stuff that you find on the bottom rungs of Reddit’s r/WTF pages. Then it got decent at showing car clips but with an occasional vomit inducing pimple popping or some girls dancing in bikinis.
I absolutely could not stand it. Not for intellectual content. Not for entertainment. I will never use it again and will recommend everyone to avoid this epic and monumental failure of human enterprise.
It makes me sad about the human species. This is what most people like to do.
- antiterra 4y agoCommenting on this sort of Hacker News article doesn’t exactly rise to Leonardo Da Vinci level either. TikTok is a triumph, especially in the light of the big social network outrage machines. Even at its worst it still can do things like introducing people to Chopin in a manner rarely seen since the Beethoven ‘Fur Elise’ McDonalds commercial in the 80s.
