or do mfs still be on that s***? is it just a permanent part of culture now? my friend group and i dont use it at all but it feels like everywhere i look i see a mf scrolling mindlessly like on planes and s*** lmfao. what do yall see

it's prolly the most active platform out of all the social media ones out there so no

would you say that's true globally or just in the western world

It's actually a myth that the western world has the most users on tiktok...it's only like 1/4 of it's user base. The rest is Asia, middle east, africa

I hope not thats where i aura farm with the hoes

TikTok has f***ed a lot of peoples brain up with its short clip format that gives you that dopamine rush, it’s addictive.

And it’s not just TikTok now it’s TikTok and ig reels . Millions of people watch them daily .

You have to think, people are actively trying to do dumb /stupid or embarrassing s*** so they can go viral on these platforms, they are slaves imo

I see a MySpace & Facebook type situation happening

Literally gets bigger every single day

Not surprised who created this thread

i know guys who claim not to use it, "hate" it even, who send me IG reels nonstop

Eventually they'll realise tiktok algo is better (like most already have) and it'll keep growing

ppl thought the UMG/Sony issue or Trump would be the end, yet it's only gotten stronger since

Nah. Idk if its the biggest platform. Facebook or Ig are probably bigger. But its the most influential platform. The youth is on there. They create the memes and all the inside jokes which even I won’t know sometimes.

And all the content gets repurposed on Reels, Shorts etc. Tiktok is the content machine of the interenet. They drive everything

Not at all people love that s***

The hold that app has on my younger cousins is insane.

GOAT app

It’s sucks ass these days ngl. Like it’s too “online” idk

For me it’s best in bits

i only open it when someone send me something

Eventually its popularity will flame out and it'll continue to exist as a shell of its former self as what usually happens with social media sites/apps, but for now it's still here and widely used in clear view

I deleted mine after my algorithm just got way too concise. Feel like it was always the same s*** and I know that’s the point but it makes me feel crazy when I sink into it for 15-30 mins at a time

Do you think people will ever get tired of their social media/tech consumption? Gen z grew up on it and are dependent but I’m curious if exhaustion will ever kick in on a decent scale

Nah this s***'s forever

Depending on how the next 10 years go (especially if there's an even more significant tech convergence that's beyond just AI implementation online and in the arts), it's possible though I do feel it'll be 50/50 honestly. Some will want to detach while others will be perfectly fine with how things are (or buy into it even more). It's probably going to take another mass traumatic event akin to the pandemic for any kind of exhaustion to take place on a wider scale tbh

not using tiktok has made me actively feel out of the loop on “meme culture” and i don’t mind it tbh

no unfortunately. i wish i could stop using it.
