What would I need the app for? Can't you just watch it in a browser if you want?

The browser based social media experience is pretty cruddy for any major platform these days. Especially if youre not logged in.

I'll take your word for it.

I must have a Nobel Prize in maturity, as I don't have a login for anything.

.eh you occasionally find some entertaining things you'd never think to look for. I don't use tik Tok but I assume "reels" on Facebook is pretty similar.

Their entire business plan depends on forcing you to receive content you don't want to watch and then claiming that you watched it. That was true for cable and broadcast TV companies too of course.

How dare you (the person in the Tweet, not you for posting it) accuse me of maturity! I just have no interest in TikTok. Already too many other things competing for my time.

I tried tik tok only so I could more easily watch the videos my gf sends me, but I simply don't like the format of the app. It is/was frustrating to use for whatever reasons I can't remember anymore. I didn't enjoy it. Plus I would rather avoid falling into the trap that is doomscrolling shorts. I've done it a few times on youtube and I regret it every time. I just avoid it now. Too much bait, too addicting, and too time consuming for no payoff.

I have a tiktok account just for the hell of it but barely use it for anything. Don't care if someone wants to use it or not. It's just not for me

If you have a smart phone, use Google or Facebook or one of a 100 other places you are alread being data mined

It runs on an algorithm just like YouTube and Facebook. The more you watch and like certain videos, the more similar ones it will show you

i dont understand how u've gone this long without realizing the use of "be (verb)" has been essentially ubiquitous since zoomers were in diapers, if not earlier

Never downloaded it myself. Just didnt see the need really. But what blows my mind is that you can apparently justbuy things through the app? Like I hear people get scammed because the products look good in some video but what they receive isnt that? Just baffles me.

There were things called commercials and the TV stations claimed to their advertisers that you watched them, even if you didn't.
