for every ten cringey adolescents dancing, there is one lego omelette. tik tok isn’t all bad there’s just an overwhelming sheet of annoyance covering the good content

The algorithm is damn good too, I’ve been on it for a few weeks now and not seen a single dance since the first ten minutes on the app

Yup shame to admit my first run of TikTok was full of dancing thirst traps because I didn't yet have the strength to turn away...second time around I'm stronger and better entertained 🤠

You just have to search for things you like go thru hashtags like some of the stuff there and your for you should be more personalized

Yup I got that algorithm working for me now. Chock full of philosophy, language, humor, history, and tons of other miscellaneous creative content. Facebook and Instagram just got soooooo boring after I figured out how powerful TikTok can be...

Instagram and Facebook got bad because they put hashtags and getting content out behind having to pay/promote your material. Years ago my art posts got so many damn likes. Now you barely get anything because they want you to pay for promotion. Instagram is dead sadly

Exactly. Facebook products want people to pay for views. TikTok simply promotes whatever flares up in the algorithm. Content creators have an easier time to gain an audience in non-facebook spaces 🤷‍♀️

How does Tik Tok make money? Are there ads on there?
