> (yikes dude) Bruh, get real. TikTok is filled with women complaining about dating. Why not just admit what is staring you in the face? There is an entire segment of the universe that just responds to those videos. And there is plenty on TikTok that is good. But even if you can "train" it, the problem is that it's scientifically engineered to keep your scrolling. I think that part you missed. Watch Wall-E where everyone sits in special "TikTok" chairs, have food delivered to them and the screen continually scrolls. That movie was before its time man. Watch here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7WAq_GZY8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7WAq_GZY8] Unfortunately, you will not get the message until you have to go out with friends that are tuned out to you because they're constantly scrolling TikTok on their phones. (And yes, I have installed TikTok for weeks and months at a time and always ended up deleting it and washing down my phone. Even after "Training" it.)

I literally acknowledge its addictiveness in my comment. Spending 30 minutes watching TV or doomscrolling on Twitter or 30 minutes watching TikTok, it's all the same to me. I think if you acknowledge the time that you "waste" and keep it in check, it's fine.

> Bruh, get real. TikTok is filled with women complaining about dating. Why not just admit what is staring you in the face? I’ve never see a video with a woman complaining about dating on TikTok. In years of use. I’m not saying you are not seeing them, just that I have not seen one.

  Plenty of guys complaining about dating on TikTok too. It’s an absolutely massive platform and there’s videos on just about anything especially interpersonal relationships (coach industry)

  People really seem to miss that complaining about the kind of content on one of the biggest social media platforms on the planet that algorithmically shows you more of what you watch is a huge self-report.

> Unfortunately, you will not get the message until you have to go out with friends that are tuned out to you because they're constantly scrolling TikTok on their phones. Maybe you need better friends. Or you could try being more assertive and saying something like, "when you are looking at your phone instead of paying attention to me, I feel ignored. If you continue to do that, I will leave and do something else." And then ACTUALLY leave if they don't stop! They will learn quickly that if they want to enjoy your company (if it is indeed enjoyable) then they will need to have self restraint.
