Rec | ANTI-REC: TIKTOK

❌

i either find the best videos ever or the most upsetting content ever. it’s like my fyp was made to keep me in an anxiety loop and keep scrolling forever until i find peace and dopamine that lasts longer than 10 seconds (which can’t be found on tiktok) 🤔🤔🤨

Not scrolling Tik Tok

The Tik Tok trend and the way we’ve normalized scrolling the app for hours is alarming. Tik Tok videos aim to deliver little doses of dopamine or a type of virtual reality. It’s evil and distracting. The “high” one feels from scrolling the app is a lie, just like doing a bit of crack or heroin. Tik Tok is more harmful to our society and our minds than Instagram, because Tik Tok distances you from reality even more. But of course, there are some people who create great art on Tik Tok and I feel proud of those people.

Tiktok tarot videos

i wish i could delete tiktok, but i need it for my job. i spend so many hours on that app. sometimes it starts to feed me tarot card readings. they always say something crazy, like “this was meant to find you. there are no hashtags.” it found me through the algorithm. i generally have a high emotional iq yet i can’t help but watch these and experience delusions of the highest order

Yes you can delete tiktok

So i recently I've deleted tiktok, again. I deleted in 2020 then re-download it 4 years later when a friend reminded me that I never actually got rid of my account. I hear a lot of people say "I want to delete but i cant cuz I learn so much!", or "I able see this niche thing I can't find anywhere else!". And that's fair to an extent but it's an algorithm. You didn't "find" anything. You enjoy being fed your slop instead of finding it yourself. I think this is fine! I found this amazing site through tiktok myself. I just hate when ppl complain about something that's supposedly causing them more harm then good, but still go back to said thing. If you really care about a topic, you WILL find an alternative way to consume that topic. For instance, I like saving recipes and tiktok can be good for that. However, tiktok also makes me want to kms so I will use Pinterest instead. Or I like watching lifestyle content so I'll go on YouTube instead. Obviously other platforms have their own issues but if you really wanted to leave the app, you would've but you don't because ur addicted to the slop and u hve fomo.
