I feel the same, especially since I've actively avoided TikTok after first trying it out shortly after the Musical.ly rebrand. What makes it worse is literally _every_ other social media network baking the a TikTok clone into their existing apps; Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, YouTube, the list goes on and on. So even though I've avoided TikTok, I can't stop this garbage dopamine-slop content from being shoved in my face. Especially egregious is SnapChat, which immediately moves you to their version of TikTok and autoplays videos after you finish checking your friends stories, with no warning. I always feel like utter garbage after falling down these rabbitholes; That's time I can never get back, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. Thankfully more and more people are seeing the issues caused by these social networks, so going full cold-turkey and uninstalling the worst offenders isn't unheard of and isn't as much of a blow to one's social circle as it once was.
