> Wow, the emotional reactions are really something to take in. I suppose you aren't a frequent user of Tiktok, which is a good thing. I think I'll also be addressing the general HN reader with this comment. Exaggerated and performed responses are a staple of content on the Tiktok platform, which isn't to say that the filter itself isn't something you can use to reflect on. But give it a browse, and browse enough and you'll see that the content there is mostly acted out and inauthentic, and you'll get a better sense of just how manufactured it is. Savvy teens, children and young adults who frequent the platform know how inauthentic it is. Which is not to say that it isn't entertaining; like how wrestling and drama serials are fictional yet entertaining.
