Tiktok and anything analogous is a piece of garbage, keeping you in a feedback loop, shutting your thoughts off completely, if consumed without caution. If religion is the opium for the masses, then this can definitely be categorized as crack
Oh hell yeah, they are designed to be addicting, keep you there, sell you stuff. And just like flares the first times are great! A cute anima video, some silly AI nonsense, someone making a hilarious 6 second thing. But soon, you’re just always there, looking for the high that’s just out of reach. Not to mention the propaganda you can find on them, and the algorithms drive.
The craziest part for me is how much the older generations of people are affected.
Literally the same people that accused me of being a “pc addict” back in the day, saying that i should “seek help” because its a “mentall illness”, are now non-stop watching the most ridiculous, annoying braindead slop humanity had ever seen.
