It's very clear that TikTok causes brain rot:

hours upon hours of scrolling;
damaged attention spans;
boring lip sync "memes";
whatever the fuck my little brother is watching;
KKKringy song over equally KKKringe footage;
TWs for almost literally anything. I've seen [TW: Aesthetic];
iPad kids

You know? This applies to YT shorts. Now my attention span is so short I can't even read theory for 5 minutes without thinking "What's on TikTok?"

Let's not even forget the KKKringe-ass use of 733tspeak, wtf man.

If I ever have kids, I'd waste my entire bank account just to stop them from getting in this hellhole of a site.

Hard disagree. You say you haven't even used the app. It's way better than IG, YT, Discord combined. China's apps are just better. The 'crap' you are seeing is based on personal algorithms, my algorithm is awesome. TT isn't just some niche community, it's massive worldwide and the worst aspects are easily avoidable and are just indicative of the western majority... I use it to 'search' for more useful information more than regular search engines. Most westerns have no conceptual media training and it shows.

This is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" community where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Heated arguments are OK but pointless hostility is not (see instance rule 3).
