TikTok is part of social media I don't really understand as it seems aimed at two types of people, those with the attention span of a gnat and those who want to show off just how 'brilliant' they are to strangers on the internet.

What I hate even more about it is when someone insists on showing me this 'funny' video that someone sent to them!

It is a narcissist greenhouse... perfect fit for Kotick
 And yes, it is annoying, unless you have a 5 seconds attention span, which I exceed!
 

It's something I dislike about social media in general it pretty much encourages that type of behaviour and then goes out of its way to give you 'performance anxiety' if you're not popular enough. That doesn't mean I think it's all bad just 95% of it!
The other thing I don't like about it is the way the algorithms are designed to feed you information that it thinks you're like which in this case means information that it thinks you'll agree with. Oh you just watched a video from one side of the political spectrum so lets show you something from the over side that may give you a different perspective. On the other hand lets just give you something that doesn't challenge your view point but instead re-enforces it.
Another problem, a lie is spread halfway around the world before the truth has even got out of bed.
