It's unbelievable how toxic the most viral TikTok videos are on so many subjects, dating/relationships and mental health among them. The algorithm seems to reward content that makes people feel worse.
- xvector 4y agoYou're the first person I've seen with this take: literally everyone else I've talked to says that TikTok videos are generally positive, empowering, fun, and non-toxic. Surprisingly so compared to other platforms.
- henrikschroder 4y agoI agree, I generally never see bad and toxic videos in my own feed, but I do get a lot of snarky and/or informative takedowns of those videos where people are called out on their bullshit. And the duet feature of TikTok makes it trivial to make those kinds of videos, unlike other platforms where you instead get isolated bubbles and echo chambers.
