People love to shit on Tiktok. But I really enjoy it. It’s not for everyone, and that’s fine. Short form content is a lot. It can be overwhelming for many, me included sometimes. But Tiktok is way better than Instagram reels and youtube shorts. The content on there feels more authentic and interesting, I go on tiktok, and I generally feel like I’m learning and challenging my perspective. Tiktok’s algorithm doesn’t quash leftist sentiment. Tiktok actually had lots of people talking about the genocide in Palestine. Sure, it’s corporate. It also has alt right pipelines on it; it helped Trump win because his team utilized it. But that’s true of all the other social media platforms, too. Which are also Spyware for the us gov, and us corporations. I mean, this take about Tiktok being Chinese spyware so it’s a good thing we got rid of it, just so totally misses the point.
