I'm terrified of what it would do to me if i ever create an account/download it. I already struggle with being sorta addicted to content on youtube and IG, don't need another timesink.

Also, i'm hopelessly boomer, in the sense that I really prefer long-form content than extremely short-form ways of presenting it.

That being said, i don't think i hate it. It's just not my vibe.

    Yeah I've had it since I was 15, my brain is fucked 😭

    I genuinely think the content is really good once you curate your fyp, but it's the biggest trap if you have an addictive personality. I'm trying to repair my attention span by watching movies and shows more instead, but it's difficult to not mindlessly scroll. Kinda been using it as a distraction from my problems lately and it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy thing where I just feel stuck
