i think the target audience has been conditioned to be happy with more innane entertainment. I frequently ask colleagues "what were you laughing about"- procee

  Probably makes me old also, but so many TikTok memes seem to be painfully low effort and unfunny. Mostly basic observations overacted and/or staged, from what I've seen, yet has hundreds of thousands or millions of views. First TikTok video when I went to the page just now (BTW, I went there looking to see if I could find a POV video example, so I could use it as an example): "POV You work at a restaurant, so you don't celebrate Christmas". 19 seconds of a woman you can barely hear because the acoustics in the restaurant aren't great, talking to the person filming her, who she's pretending is a stranger yet she clearly knows and staged this with ahead of time (since this is her TikTok profile), berating the person taking the video for asking if they're open on Christmas. 145k likes. I've encountered so many of these POVs lately (not even trying to, I only go to TikTok if someone links me to a video, but they even pop up while scrolling on my Facebook feed now).

    even clicking on a tiktok video outside the app tracks you...basically avoid anything related to it like the plague. Disgusting company, normalised by society. I will vehemently argue about any "positives" people try to claim it has.

  No generation has ever thought that they were pretty funny and then found the younger generation not funny before.
