I never tried TikTok. I know what it is but never installed the app.
Last weekend, I tried Youtube's Shorts section, its like TikTok.
2 hours and a half. I stayed in there 2 hours and a half. And I practically forced myself to stop watching.
These things are dangerous. I got hooked almost instantly.
I can only imagine all the times people are spending on TikTok. Its a total waste! These things should be banned. Its dangerous to our society.
- Come and see the violence inherent in the system.palimpsest
- word of the year was "brain rot"********
- Same on FB or Instagram with Reels... It pulls you in and eats your time.Longcopylover
- I also noticed my body was frozen while watching these, i had to think to move position. Its nuts.HAL9001
- I’m blown away by the idea that people now think it’s okay to record interactions with strangers and post them like this. So fucked up.monospaced
- @mono LoL didn't know that's a thing. 2 kids approached me once and asked me if I knew what a npc is.uan
- they got really nervous because I actually knew and I started to ask them questions about them.uan
- I'm getting videos on instagram of boucy tits or accidents which will be soon banned (must watch). It's getting to the point where i'll have no social mediaIanbolton
- it's called "TikTok" for a reason, your time is disappearing. And yeah, YT shorts is a mtf!mrAtor
- Haha good point on the nameYakuZoku
- TT algo is extremely aware more than any other social app, it creates a never-ending dopamine high going, dangerous is a stretch if you’re an adult, kids yesprophetone
- I mean do we ban video games and heavy metal, rap music? This was the overreaction in 80s, people, they’re dangerous, our kids are gonna worship satan etcprophetone
- I’ve noticed this too. It’s basically a slot machine to give you little dopamine hits in a quick loop.monNom
- The dopamine-hijacking addictive-by-design element wasn't there in the 80s.mort_
- found myself editing a lot of tiktok and shorts content recently. but yep youtube's algorithms actually seem a bit less addictive than tiktok...kingsteven
- Facebook/ IG definitely seems like the most addictive, but could be they have more info on me. It's definitely gone too far, ended up deleting all my accountskingsteven
- and setting up work accounts that can't hook me on an hour of things i don't even know I like... epoxy resin and home inspection videos? lol, sure.kingsteven
- lol. I was checking out vintage pencil sharpeners yesterday. I have zero pencils.mort_
- I disagree, the dopamine-hijacking addictive-by-design element was there when suddenly kids got Atari 2600s into their living roomsprophetone
- It’s all they talked about at school w/ friends, besides bmx’ing in the woods, dungeons dragons, Farrah Fawcett posters... jogged home to play Vanguardprophetone
- Just my personal experience lolprophetone

^ No one uses tiktok for videos. That was 10 years ago. If you announce using tiktok for videos in public, you'll out yourself as old.
Tiktok is for watching livestreams.

They are banning tiktok because it can be used by foreign adversaries to topple democracies everywhere.
Social media overall needs a rethinking...
- TikTok is banned in China or available with different content while the west is being dumbed down with brain rotNBQ00
- Yes.********
- Here in Romania we basically need to redo elections because of a political campaign on tiktok for the wrong candidate. It can be used to influence directly!********
- So it was either "let us/US control it, or begone" and it's begone********
- They really need to change what they call it too, it started out as social but there is precious little social left in it.webazoot

Say what you want about TikTok but Spencer Pratt is on fire right now on the TT responding to everybody in real time almost - attempting to raise money for his family by just being himself and sharing daily activities, trying to get his wife's song to #1 after 15 years... and it's working
I'm just gonna say it, didn't care for the guy in the Hills era, but now I like the guy... can't believe it myself
- Whom?********
- He's one of the early reality TV nobodies from the 2000s. People called him "flesh beard" because of his blonde beard.mg33
- I mean no ill will towards him at all. That's just all I remember of him and, yep, his career has been entirely reality TV. https://en.wikipedia…mg33

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has apologised after Instagram users were subjected to a flood of violence, gore, animal abuse and dead bodies on their Reels feeds.
One user wrote: “I just saw at least 10 people die on my reels.”
There were also references by users to a video of a man being crushed by an elephant. Others flagged footage of a man being dismembered by a helicopter and a video where “a guy put his face into boiling oil”. Several users posted videos of their Reels feeds dominated by “sensitive content” screens that are designed to shield users from graphic material.
A list of violent content on one user’s feed, published by the tech news site 404, included: a man being set on fire; a man shooting a cashier at point-blank range; videos from an account called “PeopleDeadDaily”; and a pig being beaten with a wrench. The user in question had a biking-related Instagram account, 404 Media reported.
A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, said: “We have fixed an error that caused some users to see content on their Instagram Reels feed that should not have been recommended. We apologise for the mistake.”
- Mark making it more murdersome, trying to keep up with Twitter. People engage with that stuff though so it works.PhanLo

•5.3M fake likes blocked in 2 weeksAcross the EU: hundreds of millions of fake accounts purged, videos, AI-generated mass disinfo."

- But now seeing fake bots promoting extremist agendas even on Tumblr!
Meta groups full of the same crap, not to even mention X...******** - < after this, you cannot say Trump even won failry, the amount of disinfo on social media is quite staggering********
- Social media’s true business model isn’t connection, it’s chaos. Spam, bots, disinformation? That’s not a bug, it’s the main feature.utopian
- Outrage fuels engagement, engagement drives clicks, and clicks mean cash. The more toxic the feed, the more addicted the scroll.utopian
- It’s less about community now and more like a digital gladiator arena—where the loudest lies and angriest trolls win the algorithm every time.utopian
- careful utopian - don't embolden graf -
