It’s almost as if the platform is explicitly meant to provide the video equivalent of Twitter’s 144 character meaningless messages.

tiktok allows videos up to 10 minutes

Sure, and yet virtually no one doomscrolls 10 minute videos. And even the “longer” videos in the scroll - meaning 15+ seconds, which nobody watches to finish anyways - have virtually no content, being just someone making stupid motions or reading out a text message.
That is, TikTok is as if an AI got tasked to turn meaningless tweets into portrait format videos. It’s a facsimile of video content. As if the creator only knew about what videos are based on the wikipedia entry for it or something.

I don’t think you’ve ever used tiktok if that’s what you think it is. all the dumb shit gets sorted out pretty quick because of the algorithm. I only see videos about niche topics im interested in, comedy sketches, and cat videos.
