Say what you will but TT deserves acclaim for making something that's engaging not based on political toxicity.
Twitter is constantly trying to trigger me with some 'bait' statement by someone on the side of an issue.
Our entire media/political class seems to want to make statements that 'pop' which is basically 'taking a strong stand' on something.
'Base TikTok' - untrained and just the popular stuff is really trashy 'Island Boys' and 'Johnny Depp' - but 'trained' TT is reasonable.
There's a lot of very interest creators out there.
- pbw 4y agoI’m amazed how seldom I see political posts on TT. I’m not really sure why that is. My Twitter is highly political even though I try to follow very few political people. Maybe the hurdle of making a video is just that much higher than typing in a few angry words?
- jollybean 4y agoAlgorithm doesn't favour it, and my bet is TT actively dissuades. It's China, they don't like political agitation.
