Tiktok bullshit is banned on my pihole. Stupid fucking name too, “tiktok”. Spy central brain rot.
I’d settle for getting rid of ‘tiktok speak’.
‘So my brother uses a lot of dr*gs and I’m worried he’s going to buy a pewpew and unalive himself’
That kind of brainrot. It’s infecting the rest of the Internet.
What I fear is when TikTok’s (or YouTube, Facebook, whatever) shaping of public opinion becomes more dramatic and blatant.
For instance, let’s say a leader connected to the Tiktok’s owner didn’t like their political opponent? What if they just deprioritized them from the algorithm, so their name is basically unknown?
Or what if a certain scandal was countered by boosting opposition videos?
If this sounds like I’m describing extant scenarios, well… yes.
Censorship is no longer hard. It’s statistical. Truth doesn’t matter if it doesn’t show up in feeds, and this is more scary to me than any mental effects Tiktok may be having.
I just don’t like how much video is vertical now.
It’d be marginally less irritating if we’d stuck with 4:3 aspect ratio I suppose.
Imagine them watching seven samurai, with 20 minutes of chanting on an empty road at the start.
A solar flare would solve lots of things besides TikTok.
It would cause many problems too, but I’m not sure they’re worse than the problems we have now.
Humans are like this in times of unprecedented abundance. They will not become more reasonable when times become hard.
And neither will I. Good luck everyone.
A catastrophic one would result in probably 80% of the population dying in a year. Starvation, exposure, lack of medicines, etc.
You judge if that’s worse.
As always, it would be mostly folks who had the least agency in the world…hate it
Worth it
EDIT: Still worth it.
people use other short form content platforms besides tiktok
Vine was a thing but died and then there was not much until tiktok became popular
My boyfriend defaults to Instagram reels if he’s unstimulated for approximately 3 seconds…
You mad? probably should break up with them then. There is always another mirage over the next horizon.
Shouldn’t you be on reddit?
Ooosie wrong thread lol.
Ahh fortunately I’m old and date other people who don’t use tiktok either.
Why are people so obsessed with what other people are doing? 5 years ago, libtards said what you do doesn’t matter as long as you don’t hurt or bother anybody. Now they’re pissed off when other people want to be on their phones all day.
The libs are not the ones on 4chan, big dawg.
Legitimately though wtf happened? Before covid I was the weird one for being online all the time, now I’m weird for wanting to have actual conversations now and everyone else is glued to the screen.
Whatever is intelligent, people trip over themselves and trample each other to do the opposite.
My youngest is always calling out my music as “this is a Tiktok song” … child, that song is almost older than I am.
Algorithmic flattening will be the death of me. Everything is homogenized and made palatable for the masses, either that or engorged to extremes to capture the last neuron that still has an attention span.
The irony of saying this on 4chan.
4chan: the place that makes you unable to like things unironically, because honesty is cringe, and every normie is a secret hypocrite.
Imagine living through the age when the normies ate everything that was fun about being on the internet. Can’t say i blame them.
I can’t stand the unrealistic body image and behaviors that TikTok creates
Stares at vore comics for 40 hours every week

The 4chan TradCath is the strongest evidence against God’s existence I’ve ever experienced.
Kind, vengeful, no God would tolerate this shit without smiting it like Gomorrah
What do you mean? 4chan is a symposium of the elite and enlightened.

Don’t forget scrolling while driving.
One of my coworkers was laughing the other day about how he’s always on tik tok while he’s driving.
He didn’t get the reaction he was looking for, because I was just like “what the fuck is wrong with you!?!”
I was driving with another coworker the next shift and despite having his airpod in one ear he was in the passenger seat scrolling through tik tok with his phone on speaker. Every 5 seconds it was a new audio clip. After about 2 minutes I was starting to contemplate driving into the side of a bridge and ending it all.
Listening to someone scrolling TikTok reels on their phone with the speaker on is a unique form of psychological torture
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no no no no no.
Dude I see this way too often. I say there’s a 50% chance I look over and someone is on their phone
Tbf, there’s a 50% chance I’m in gridlock traffic.
Everyone could be scrolling their phones on the train or the bus, but that’s for poors and city slickers.
I need to be jerking off to OnlyFans from the driver’s seat of a Ford F-Over9000
