I realize they're almost all made up but I've got to admit I enjoy the genre of tiktok stories where someone asks a question and then people answer with their elaborate and intimate stories. Like "What's a thing your parents told you that you realized later was a lie" or whatnot.

I watch these in youtube compilations while I'm doing chores around the house, because I have no intention of ever installing tiktok on any of my devices.

I just opened it up.

In order, I got:

1. A lady petting her cat and telling me how to get a shelter cat.

2. A cat stuck in a truck meowing super cute.

3. A video about why you might not make progress in therapy by a german sounding guy.

4. A girl selling her armpit hair to horny guys on the internet.

5. A makeup tutorial on blush application.

6. A lipsync with Isabelle from Animal Crossing cosplay.

OOOOoooOOoOoo look out it's the cat > switch lite pipeline.

I've been asking it to show me fewer angry trans teenagers (by choosing 'not interested'), not because I dislike trans people, but because I dislike teenagers. I'm old now. We'll see if it ends in me getting Alex Jones'd.

Are tiktok videos titled? If so, do they have every other word capitalized a la lovely youtube click bait?

I poured LAVA on a block of ICE then THIS HAPPENED

What do those 63 million people think happens?

Oh, don't forget to overlay your "surprised face" on the thumbnail, no matter the content. Sure to generate a million views on its own.

Thumbnails aren't really a think on TikTok. You just scroll and whatever comes next comes up. Even if you're searching for videos or looking at a particular person's page of videos, 99% of the time they just show the first few frames in a loop. You usually don't even see the video title or text until you are already watching it.

And there's plenty of fun, wholesome content on the app.

Was tiktok the one where a boyfriend looked mildly uncomfortable in a video where his long distance girlfriend made a surprise visit from cross state, and so millions of people around the world decided to stalk and harass the couple calling them gaslighters and telling them to kill themselves?

Yeah I straight up don't want to click the videos ITT because I already know tiktok has no volume equalization and so everything shouts at you directly from the red line. Not only is the site chinese spyware, it's about as functional as chinese spyware

The ones I hate are "tell me you're <whatever> without telling me you're <whatever>", but the worst ones are "Put a finger down if you <have or have done whatever>", repeated 10 times.

Hello, dear
couple of years ago some children in a high school a town over here made one making fun of people with learning disabilities and a lot of people saw it and it ended with the children and their families and the principal of the school they attended getting death threats

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
I really wonder how this kind of stuff will affect people a generation down the line. Like when you see parents make kids be the butt of an unfunny joke.

One (OK, admittedly many) time I had a big embarrassing meltdown on Xmas because I didn't get a toy I wanted. My mom was recording us on a camcorder at the time but was considerate enough not to record my meltdown. However, I see people not only record their kids reactions (often instigated via "joke gifts") but it gets put on these platforms for thousands of strangers to see.

Even had my mom been cruel and recorded/shared my meltdown, only a handful of people would have seen it. But if this was a tiktok video I'd be the "Kid has a meltdown he didn't get a Nintendo" and devoid of context would have made me look pretty bad. I think it would be a lot harder to cope and move on if your embarrassment was broadcast for the world to see.

Some people might shrug and figure, "who is going to know you as an adult were that kid? Just deny it" but people can be petty and viscious on the internet so it would only be a matter of time before it got weaponized in some way.

One of my YouTube suggestions not too long ago was a video about the current status that kid from Minecon who asked them about server ram or whatever around a decade ago. I didn't watch the video. It struck me as an insane thing to even exist. Who the gently caress researches a kid's whereabouts and history? Jesus Christ. Leave that kid alone.

The twist I expect from this world of endless stupidity is that the video was produced by the (now-adult) kid himself trying to launch an e-career.
