While I don't use TikTok I often see videos from there and it's really spooky to me how aggressive and omnipresent filtering seems to have become in that community. Even mundane non-fashion non-influencer "vlog" style content is often heavily filtered and, even more scary IMO, I often don't notice immediately and only catch it if there's a small glitch in the algorithm for instance when the person moves something in front of their face. And sometimes you can tell that the difference from their real appearance is very significant.

I really wonder what's that doing to insecure teenagers with body issues.
