I had zero exposure to TikTok until about 60 days or so. I started seeing a lot of content from TikTok on my regular feeds, like YouTube and a few other media sites.
I don't have any social media accounts other than this one and YouTube, so it wasnt hard to stay away from it all, but now even on my news channels I see 'everything' TikTok content seeping in, and I have to say, I really hope the content I'm seeing is a curated list of what goes on in that place because its horrendous.
They say 4chan is the cesspool of the internet but by God... I mean, I can't even begin to address all the mental issues that seem to be glorified by the platform. To these standards even a /b/ post might seem academic in nature.
- tjpnz 4y agoYou probably started seeing it because of the Johnny Depp civil suit. Most of the content in my feeds claiming to cover it seemed to be more about TikTok, which was frustrating as someone unfamiliar with the case. The mental health glorification is particularly insidious and there's already been some studies on the harm done to people who self diagnosis on the platform. Even if you avoid all the content it recommends you on the subject it still messes with your dopamine receptors.
