I hear what you're saying but its not exactly like the other concerns you mention. The obsession and amount of time dedicated to short reel feeds is unparalleled. And is the culture generated on these platforms a good culture? Intellectually shallow, void of original thought, mob mentality. I'll pass. Anyway, my concern is where it's leading us. From attention theft to decision theft.

Each one of the things I listed felt "unparalleled" at the time. I don't know what good culture is, but there is definitely interesting things happening on TikTok. Because the stitch feature makes mashups and remixing so easy there is a lot of interesting new kinds of content being made that we haven't seen on other platforms in the past. There's a lot of junk on TikTok, but "intellectually shallow, void of original thought, mob mentality" are absolutely complaints lobbed at TV but we also get shows like Breaking Bad or The Wire.
