What are you talking about? TikTok isn’t the internet, just like Facebook wasn’t and MySpace wasn’t.

TikTok is like Snapchat. 13 years ago Snapchat was the cool app all the kids were using and making fun of older people for not getting it. 13 years later and it’s still just shitty text messaging, with the only people using it being those who cared a decade ago who got their family and friends to sign up just for them.

TikTok is just shitty Youtube and in 10 years will be replaced by something else. Plus, what exactly am I out of touch with? My reddit feed is already crammed with crappy TikTok videos. Take something mildly amusing with the volume off that would be moderately amusing with sound. Replace that sound with the most godawful music you can think of. Now repost it 100 times with the image cropped to oblivion and half the screen taken up by an emoji or some random mobile game. Woo yeah, that’s the future of content, let me tell you.
