Yeah. It’s highly addictive. I have screentime for “fun apps” set to 30 mins now because it will suck you in for hours if you’re not careful.

I can honestly say I’ve never viewed a single tiktok video, and I intend to keep this true.

Fuck that noise.

Are you okay with instagram reels and YouTube shorts, or is it all short form content you object to? Large swaths of tiktok is cross posted to other platforms, so if you use those other ones then chances are you have watched plenty of tiktok content.
No, this is my only form of social media beyond some group friend chats. I slap ”Reddit” on the end of searches sometimes if that counts for anything.
It also has a lot of educational content, etc. - just like YouTube or Twitch.
So does the Bible

Edit: as does the Art of War, the Quran, the 1981 fall almanac, etc. education is almost a farce in 2024
